TV app auto launches on 1 of 2 consoles.

sean67854 · Oct 14, 2014

I have two Xbox One consoles. Both are updated to the latest update that was supposed to auto launch the TV app on start. Only one of them works that way. It is the one designated as the Home console.

Any ideas on what's going on?

Xbox One TV app turns off after startup

BACKGROUND: I've spoke with MS a couple times about this issue and it isn't solved; however, I seem to have found a workaround that might help others. Note: I've had the system since launch and been using the TV pass thru since then with the same cable
box - Motorola QIP6416-1 (Verizon FiOS). This issue first appeared mid-July 2014.

THE ISSUE: If the TV app is running and I turn off the xbox one (i.e. goes into hibernate mode) then restart the console, it automatically launches the TV app at start, video/audio will display for about 3 seconds then turn off to a black screen. Trying
to relaunch the app won't work, it requires a hard reset (holding the xbox one button for 10 seconds).

Workaround #1: Prior to console hibernate you can switch to any other app (i.e. netflix) then turn off the console. Upon restart the system won't try to auto-start the TV app. You should be able to click on the TV app and the video/audio should display
properly. Unfortunately, this requires you to consciously think about changing the active app prior to turn-off.

Workaround #2: Go to Settings--Power & Startup then change from 'instant-on' to 'energy-saving' mode. The console will 'shut-down' upon turn off rather than 'hibernate'. Unfortunately this requires a longer startup time.

If someone knows of a way to keep 'instant-on' functioning and avoid the issue of losing video/audio if the TV app auto-launches please let me know.

breaking bad episode 3

1. Launch Xbox Video on the console (not the Video pc app)

2. Go to 'my videos'

3. Select 'Account Management' (this is in the app - not the account management option in Xbox settings)

4. Select the 'Show Me' option in the top left hand corner

5. Select 'TV Shows'

Booting to TV only works if the console is in Instant On mode (as opposed to low power mode). Is it possible that's the issue?

I think they are both set to instant on, but I'll check on that.
