    hdmi passthrough

    I have dish network receiver.

    I plug the receiver hdmi out to the input on the splitter box.

    than output one goes to my hdmi in on my tv so if you don't want to use Xbox just keep tv input on 1.

    then output 2 from the box goes to Xbox receiver in and then Xbox output goes to my tv input 2

    I know this sounds contusing, but the splitter mirrors the input of the cable or satellite receiver.

    I have a Panasonic plasma and 3 hdmi inputs so I was fine. So my wife switches my tv to input 1 and I use input 2

    Live TV input to XBOX ONE looks darker than expected.

    Ok. I think we're at a point where we've confirmed that it is the XBOX ONE that is the issue. It's not my cable box, HDMI cables, HDMI splitter, A/V receiver, or TV.

    ===================

    I performed GZA's test. I setup my HW as follows:

    Cable, HDMI, SPLITTER, HDMI, TV INPUT 1

    HDMI, TV INPUT 2

    I paused the cable box and switched between the inputs and the images were the same. No differences in color. So it's not the HDMI splitter or TV input settings.

    ===================

    Next I performed my test where I removed the cable box from the equation in an attempt to prove my theory that it doesn't matter what is connected the XBOX hdmi input . I plugged my XBOX 360 into my XBOX ONE's HDMI input and also directly to my TV as follows:

    XBOX 360, HDMI, SPLITTER, HDMI, TV INPUT 1

    HDMI, XBOX ONE, HDMI, TV INPUT 2

    I paused a trailer on the XBOX 360 (Man of Steel) and switched between the TV inputs and the XBOX ONE's version was darker (just like when it was the cable box). I repeated the same setup but used my PS3 in place of the XBOX 360..yup you guessed it same
    result: XBOX ONE's version was darker.

    ====================

    XB1R,

    I think we've clearly shown here that you should be able to easily reproduce this issue. You don't need my cable box to see it you can use a XBOX 360. Please keep in mind that this is a somewhat subtle difference and that you need to pay attention to the
    darker portions of the image when comparing.

    Please get this fixed! The XBOX shouldn't alter my HDMI input like this. I lose a lot of detail in the image when watching TV through the XBOX so I find myself not using it.

    Watching tv with xbox off?

    No, use two cables each to a HDMI port on the TV and then use your TV remote to change between HDMI inputs.

    Not auto-switching to HDMI input source

    The Xbox One doesn't use HDMI-CEC. Everything simply uses infrared commands. So it's not going to automatically switch inputs to the right one. I suppose it could switch an input if the TV is already on and the code to power on the TV changes the input
    if the TV is already on.

    Audio issue

    Are you sure you have it connected correctly?

    Xbox HDMI OUT goes to one of your TV's HDMI Inputs (usually the 4K input if your tv supports it, not all inputs in your TV may be set to support 4K)

    Xbox HDMI IN gets connected to HDMI Output on your cable (set-top) box. This allows you to to use OneGuide on Xbox.

    Also make sure that your OneGuide settings are set properly as well as what happens when you turn on and off your Xbox etc.
