    Unable to switch on TV while starting up my console.


    Hello,

    I recently got Xbox One X and i was wondering whether it has a nice feature that my steam link has, which is auto enabling my tv whenever i boot up my link. As it turns out, there is such a setting on X. So i went to TV/AV power options and discovered that
    my TV is not on the list. So i run it manually and 3 command has been succesfully received by my Philips 55PFS8209. Next i set the following:

    When Xbox turns on, send: On

    When Xbox turns off, send: Off

    Off option works well, unlike On option which does not work at all. When i chose Toggle instead od On, it works well when i **** down my console while my TV is on, then it shuts off my TV just fine.

    And as said, Steam Link turns on my TV just fine, so Im almost sure, that's not the TV issue.

    Btw, my X is connected via HDMI ARC, so as Link just to be before.

    Any clues?

    :)

    XBOX LOGO

    Hi

    If your console has been set to instant on then the Xbox Logo will not appear when you switch the console on, if your console is set to energy saving then the logo will appear whilst the console is starting up.

    Xbox crashes when starting Live TV

    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem with my Xbox One when starting Live TV. I have the following setup:

    - HTPC (Windows 8.1)

    - Cablecom Cable-Box (Samsung)

    Both devices connected through a high quality HDMI Switch to the Xbox ONE. When waking up the XONE with the "XBOX ON" command, then starting Live TV ("XBOX WATCH TV" command), the HDMI switch points to the HTPC which is already ON. During the Start of the
    Live TV my TV screen went black, the XBOX makes a squeaking noise (the Xbox itself not though the speakers) and shuts down completely. If the HDMI switch points to the Cable-Box the screen stuttering for about 1 minute and no sound is played.

    I already replaced all the HDMI cables and the HDMI switch without success. I tested the HDMI switch with my TV and it works fine. If I restart the console after the crash, everything works fine and as expected, except from the sound issue. To solve the
    sound problem I have to turn off the Cable-Box and switch it on again. The sound issue happens with all devices it seems, that the problem occurs if the connected Device is ON before the XBox ONE is ready.

    Is there any fix for this, or is any update (already have the Feb. 16 update) in queue?

    Right now the problem is getting worse, if my HTPC is on an I turn on Xbox. The Xbox seems like its starting an crashes after a few seconds.

    Another point is, since the update the Xbox is unable to turn on/off my cable-box anymore. So I repeated the setup and everything is working there.

    Unable to switch on TV while starting up my console.

    Hi

    The Xbox One X does not use ARC to control a television it uses a little IR sender located just under the disc slot on the console and it is possible this may be obstructed. If possible I would also try completing the setup again
    for controlling a television just in case you are not using the correct remote code to allow you to control all functions on the television.

    Xbox One Unusable whilst updating?

    No it's an update that is done whilst 'not in use'. The trouble is it starts the update when I turn it off to go to bed so the console remains flashing. Come the morning it is still flashing (updating) and I am unable to switch it on to watch TV. If I switch
    it off I get a corrupt update and it won't startup correctly (I did it a while ago).

    Xbox One to Windows 10 Streaming Questions

    I solved this by having two outputs from my cable box. HDMI to the XB1 and Component straight to the TV. So if my kids want to watch TV I switch the input over to Component and they have full control of the TV while I am streaming games from the XB1.
    I can also turn off the tv and stream without a problem. It will initially turn on when I boot up the XB1 but I just turn it off after it starts.

    Then I can also watch TV while grinding my RPG games :)
