Xbox one, hdmi port not working

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!

If the Xbox is working with the same HDMI cable on a different TV, then that would lead me to believe the HDMI port on the TV in question is bad. I had a bad HDMI port on my TV as well that just went out one day. If it works on another TV with the same
HDMI cable then I would say the Port on the TV has quit working.

VV, you state that the "Xbox One will have an HDMI out port" and that is true.

But i think that it will not work if you connect your cable box to this port.

That's why they made a "HDMI in port", yeah smart people at M$

Hello AbhijeetDutt,

Thank you for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with your Xbox One not displaying to your monitor/TV. To troubleshoot this, please check out this article:

I hope this helps!

Get a 1xHDMI IN to 2xHDMI OUT splitter and a total of 4 HDMI leads.

1. Plug the HDMI lead from your cable box into the HDMI IN port on the splitter

2. Plug a HDMI lead into one HDMI OUT port on the splitter and into the HDMI IN port on you xbox

3. Plug another HDMI lead from the Xbox One into HDMI 1 on your TV (lie normal)

4. Plug one last HDMI lead from the other HDMI OUT port port on the splitter to HDMI 2 on the TV

Now you "should" have the Xbox One on HDMI 1 with TV and all the bells and whistles but if you use HDMI 2 then you should still have access to TV directly. Please note I haven't tried this yet (sitting here waiting for my Xbox) but I might have to if my
wife hates using it through the Xbox, however I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
