XB1 IR Blaster sends multiple commands to cable box, HELP?

I think this will fix most of your problem. I was having the same issue with my Xfinity XG1-A cable box. The Xbox Kinect has IR blasters that emits the IR codes. Try placing the Kinect in front or near your cable box and try to send a command via voice
or Xbox oneguide.

I used the Comcast model: x1

Good luck.

The IR blaster just sends signals to your tv or cable box like a remote does to change channels, volume, 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.

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.

Your Dish receiver is controlled by remote control commands sent from Kinect - so your Dish box and Kinect would need to be in the same room.

As a work around if that's not how your room is set up, there is a jack on the back of Xbox One which takes a standard IR blaster cable. The jack is the same shape and size as a headphone jack. You can then run the IR blaster cable to your dish box.
