Xbox One and HDMI port Problems

Why don't you, just plug the PS3 into one HDMI port & plug the HDMI Switch with Xbox 360 & CableTV Box, on the other HDMI port.. Problem solved...

Hello C0nd1t10nR3D,



How the Xbox One works with being able to control the TV is that the Xbox One has a HDMI In port and a HDMI Out port. If a person had a cable set-top box, they would take the HDMI cable from that and plug it into the HDMI In port on the Xbox One, and then
connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI Out port and connect that to the TV.



In your case, I think it could only work if your TV had both a HDMI Out port and a HDMI In port. If this is the case, which I don't ever think I've heard of a thing for just a TV (I guess it could be possible), then you would go from the TV's HDMI Out port
to the Xbox One's HDMI In port and from the Xbox One's HDMI Out port to the TV's HDMI In port.



I hope I have answered your question!

Hi, here is a solution that should work.support.xbox.com/.../tv-or-monitor-screen-is-blank-while-connected

1.If there's a disc in the Xbox One console, eject it.

2.On the console, press and hold the Xbox button for five seconds to turn off the console.

3.Press and hold the Xbox button and the Eject button until you hear a beep to turn on the console. You will hear one beep right away and a second beep 10 seconds later. The power light will flash on before the second beep. DO NOT LET GO until the second
beep occurs.

Note This will boot your console in low resolution mode (640 × 480). To reset this setting, go to Settings in the guide, select Display & sounds, Video options, and then TV Resolution.

Maybe also try a different HDMI port on the TV.

Just to be sure, you have inserted the HDMI cable into the correct socket on the Xbox One? It has to be in the HDMI out socket. If you have, then try another socket on the back of the TV.

@Smiles its the hdmi port on the laptop that is only hdmi out,nothing to do with the xbox one hdmi ports.
