    XB One setup with TV, Freeview HD and soundbar


    Hi guys

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. I've got a friend who has decided to jump into the XBone zone and I just have a couple of setup questions to ensure he gets the best experience.

    He's got a 50" Panasonic LED with a Panasonic soundbar and a Panasonic Freeview HD DVR and an XBOne.

    He watches a lot of DVR stuff from the Freeview box and I'm aware that the XBone doesn't control the DVR function. Hence why I'm concerned how he could control or view the DVR programmes through the XBone.

    So on the setup I'm thinking.

    Aerial - Freeview

    Freeview - HDMI - XBone

    XBone - HDMI - TV

    XBone - Optical Audio - Soundbar

    Am I correct in that this setup, when he plays games or Blu rays & DVD's through the XBOne, this will be through the TV and audio through the soundbar?

    If he then wants to watch Freeview and his recorded programmes, he can simply switch off the XBone and the Freeview signal - audio and visual - will pass through the standby XBone and allow him to watch these trouble free?

    I understand that by switching off the XBone he won’t get to use the OneGuide but until the console can control his DVR recordings, this seems to be the best way to enjoy both DVR and the XBOne when he wants gaming and Blu Ray
    playing.

    Ultimately, will the audio optical and the HDMI visual pass through the XBone when it's in standby?

    Cheers

    Watching Freeview DVR through the Xbox One

    Can you use two HD TV Tuners on XBOne?

    So I have installed the HD tuner, and am now getting Freeview through the XBOne - great! But during setup the system had a selection to connect to Freesat. So, might sound like I am asking too much, but is it possible to connect two of the HD tuners (there's
    obviously enough USB ports to do so) - one for Freeview and one for Freesat? Would be great if you could, as then all of my TV can go through the XBOne.

    Xbox one tv in the uk help please

    Your TV would need to be able send its internal Freeview out via HDMI so that it can be passed through the Xbox One, you'll need to read your TVs manual to see if this feature is available to you, failing this you will need a Freeview HD STB to use in place
    of the built-in Freeview.

    Can I connect Xbox One directly to a sound bar?

    I have a Vizio soundbar connected to my TV. I ran the Audio Receiver Setup on the Xbox One and now the X1 powers on/off the soundbar along with my entire TV/DVR system.

    As for volume control, if you've ran the Audio Receiver Setup then you can control the Soundbar via either voice commands or the Xbox One Smartglass App (the volume controls on Smartglass will no longer control the TV volume, however, as they'll become dedicated
    to the soundbar--I presume the same may be me true for voice commands).

    TV: Freeview HD?

    It's strange because you would have thought the major free services like Freeview and Freesat would have been mentioned. Hmmmm.

    TV: Freeview HD?

    How does the TV thing even work? How can Kinect control a satellite box? Also I assume I can plug in a freeview hd box and although not control via kinect, notifications appear on top of the picture?
