Xbox One compatibility with Xfinity set top box

Hey Worlord,

You will need an HDMI compatible set top box and cable provider in order to connect through the Xbox One.

I talked to Xfinity, they said they had the app already on 360 platform and it's up to Microsoft to utilize the app on the one console.

Unfortunately, Xfinity is mistaken here.

Microsoft only provides a marketplace to distribute apps from third parties like Xfinity. As Microsoft doesn't own publishing rights for Xfinity, only Xfinity can make a Xfinity app for the Xbox One.

While there are means to get Xbox 360 games working on the Xbox One through Backwards Compatibility, it wouldn't make sense for the Xfinity App. And even then, Xfinity would have to give Microsoft the rights to "convert" the app to Backwards Compatibility.

I'd assume the Xfinity support agent didn't know what you really wanted, or was too lazy to actually help you.

There are a few other threads about this issue that is wide spread not just with the Xfinity X1. Other countries multiple provides and varying set-top models. My Set-top has this issue after I do a soft boot of my Xbone. I just power cycle the xbone by
holding the power button the box for 10s. There are suggested workarounds on the other threads as well.

Set up Comcast box manually. Type in Xfinity instead and see that gives you more choices. I have a x1 box from Comcast, could not find it until I typed Xfinity.

The menu-related and game audio work just fine (and amazon instant, etc. etc.) it's just fails when trying to watch TV if the xbox has been on "for a while". It's likely a matter of the handshake between cable box and xbox.

The Sonos sound bar isn't a surround device, it's just stereo, so each of the devices (xfinity, xbox, and tv) are set to stereo.

PX001ANM Device Settings (that matter):

• Audio mode: Stereo
• (rest of settings here, if possibly helpful: http://imgur.com/qN4rh38 )
  

Xbox One Settings:

• TV Connection: HDMI
• Digital Audio: HDMI audio Stereo uncompressed
• Bitstream format: Off

Connection between Xbox One and Xfinity box is via the HDMI cable provided by MSFT, but also purchased the ones referenced above, with same issue.

Other info: I've actually had this thing hooked up to both of the other set top boxes as well (X1 uses one master, and two slaves) and those have the exact same problem.

Thanks for any help!
