    Xbox One Controller can't select channels


    So I've set up my cable box and TV through OneGuide and everything seems to be working right. I can see the picture and it looks clear. The programming and channels all show up correctly in the OneGuide. However, when I want to select a show to watch with
    the Xbox One Controller, it does not work. Microsoft's support guide says:

    -----------------------

    link: Use OneGuide on Xbox One | Voice Commands for OneGuide

    Use your controller to navigate OneGuide and find shows

    1. With OneGuide open, use the left stick to move up and down the channel list or left and right through shows. This is similar to using the directional arrows on your remote control.
    2. When you find a show you want to watch, highlight the show (instead of the channel) and press the
      A button on your controller

    ------------------------

    Highlighting the show and pressing the A button just closes the guide, and I remain on the same channel I started at. Again everything else seems to be working, but I cannot select the channel. Please help!

    :)

    Channels are incorrect

    VooDoo90,

    The best way to report the incorrect channels in the OneGuide troubleshooting section in your Xbox One settings.

    • Press the Menu button on your Xbox One controller and select 'Settings'.
    • In the Settings menu, select 'TV & OneGuide'.
    • Select 'Troubleshooting'.
    • From here select 'Report a OneGuide problem' and select 'Wrong channel'.
    This will report the error directly to the proper folks.

    • From the Setting menu, select TV & OneGuide.

  4. Xbox One Controller can't select channels

    I'm having the same problem now after the update, I do not own a Kinect, a friend said that could be the problem but I never had one and it worked just fine. And even if my controller died I could still change the channel with the Xbox app on my phone but
    now that seems to do nothing as well, a little disappointing since I have to now find the remote for this cable box. The whole point if setting this up is to not use that

    Can't find a remote code to change channels on my Sky+ box with OneGuide

    I've since found that with SmartGlass, when I directly control the remote, I am able to channel up and down, and select channel by number, so I am at a loss as to why I can't change channel with the Xbox One. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    HomeworX

    Hey xXBOXxOne - I got the HomeWorX HW-150PVR and it will not let me control it as a "set top" device. Which means that xbox guide won't work and I can't control channel up/ channel down through the xbox one. Did you encounter this as well.... It is cool,
    but I'm kind of displeased because I can't control it through the XBONE which was the whole point.

    Hey there R7Response!

    Sorry to hear there are channels missing! The best way to report this is actually in the Xbox One console. Here's how:

    • Press the Menu button on your Xbox One controller and select Settings.
    • Under the Console group, select TV & OneGuide.
    • In the TV & OneGuide menu, select Troubleshooting.
    • Select "Report a OneGuide problem" and select "Missing channel" and follow the steps!
    Give that a shot and let us know how that goes. Those steps should get the ball rolling for you!
