Verizon Fios QIP7100 2 - Can't control via XB1 with IR Blaster Cable

My tv is a Samsung Ln52a650 and the cable box is a Motorola qip7100 from Verizon Fios. Nothing else is hooked up.

IR out: Infrared output port for IR blaster (optional; IR blaster not included).

The IR port is designed to control devices via an IR transmitter such as a home theater system.

IR extension cables etc.

The XB1 controls your cable box, TV & stereo with an IR blaster, the same way your remote does. So you can control you cable box with any combination of your voice, game pad, the devices remote control and I believe your tablet / phone with the XB1 app.

Does it have HDMI out and an IR receiver for a remote? If the answer to either of those questions is no, then no.

.

TV signal has to be fed to the Xbox One via HDMI, and Kinect controls your tv/cable box/whatever via its IR blaster.

Did you setup you cable box in the OneGuide/tv settings section? Make sure the ir sensor is exactly on the ir receiver of you cable box, if RS off even a few mm it could stop it from working. You made sure your purchased a ir blaster wire and not a ir
receiver wire? If the the model of you cable box is in the Xbox one settings when you set it up then it should work, just make sure you are directly on the ir receiver of your box.

I use a cable in the livingroom because the Kinect blaster doesn't work for some reason so I have a 3 way Ir blaster wire that works grea but as I said you need to put it directly on your ir receiver for your cable box and if you want to control your tv
you need a cable with atleast 2 ir blasters and fix them to both your tv ir and cable box ir receiver.
