    Xbox One & cable box in different rooms


    I have a cable box in a room adjacent to where my Xbox is. I used to run a coax cable straight from the wall in the other room directly to my tv to get cable (using a ~50ft cable), but I can no longer do that thanks to my cable provider. If I were to get
    a long enough hdmi cable, would I be able to run it into my Xbox and control my cable from my Xbox (change channels, access OneGuide, etc.) without having to walk into the other room and point a remote at the cable box? Also, I do have a Kinect set up (if
    that matters) and OneGuide is not a high priority but would be nice since I know it's functionality varies.

    :)

    Cloud Storage - Does anyone actually use it?

    I used to have 2 xboxes in different rooms so would have used it if it was around then.

    .

    One of the boxes red ringed, so I just move the funcing xbox from room to room. At least I have 2 sets of cables I can leave in place.

    Cable set top box in different room than xbox one

    So, I'm buying an xbox one next week and I really am looking forward to watching tv through it as i have no cable box in my room. Now my question is if i run the hdmi cord from the cable box in my living room to the xbox in my room will the cable box in
    the living room be unaffected? Meaning would i be able to watch tv in my room(off the xbox) while someone else watches tv in the living room? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hard Drive Transfer.

    That link doesn't say anything about a disk and there wasn't one in the box and there isn't even room for one in the box. It is just a cable and the instructions. It's the one from 2011 if that makes a difference.

    Help with connecting my Xbox One to Virgin Box

    Also even if you did have the Virgin medai box connected to the Xbox One with a really long HDMI cable, you wouldnt be able to "Xbox On" or "Xbox watch dave" because the two boxes are in different rooms.

    You really need to move either the Virgin media box next to your Xbox or vice versa to get the best out of the whole "TV through your console" experiance.

    We have detected a signal..... But the picture never shows...

    Unplug Xbox ONE, use a different HDMI cable going from cable box to xbox.

    Wired Connection doesn't work.

    What shows up is the "You need to insert a ethernet cable." message even when it was plugged in and I would agree with you on the cable port but the problem with that is that when I take the Xbox to a different room and hook it up to a completely different
    cable it works and I can sign on. It's just in this one room that I can't get it to connect.
