Xbox One TV Connection Problem

Love Pika · Oct 30, 2014

Hi, could someone please help me?I accidentally changed the tv settings from 720p to 640x480. I cant change it as when I switch on my console I can only see a black screen. Can someone please help me with this problem and tell me how to fix this as I cant
change anything as the screen is just black. Is there any way of re setting it?

:)

HDMI Splitter Advice

I want to play my Xbox one on 2 different TV's so i understand i would need an HDMI splitter for 1 input and 2 outputs to achieve this?

At the moment my Xbox one is connected to AV receiver then to main TV with Cable box going in to Xbox one.

My main problem is to understand how to connect it so that if i play Xbox one on the second TV, i want to have the sound on the second TV only and not the receiver as the TVs wont be in the same room, I also want to be able to use xbox one on the second TV whilst it being possible to use just the Cable box and sound from AV on main TV.

How can i do this and would i need 2 HDMI splitters maybe?

Blank TV or monitor - Solutions

Does your TV screen or monitor remain blank or black after starting your Xbox 360 console?

If your TV or monitor remains blank or black and the circle of lights surrounding the console’s power button flashes red, there might be a problem with the audio/vedio (A/V) cable. The cable might also be faulty.

Solutions

You need to inspect the connection for the A/V or HDMI cable on your Xbox console.

You also have to check the connection for the A/V or HDMI cable on your television.

After ensuring secured connections, if the problem exists, you should contact Xbox Support for a cable replacement.

You can reset your grafic settings by holding the eject button and the power button simultaneously when powering up the console. This wil start the console with a fail safe grafic setting with lowest resolution. Afterwards you can again configure the setttings
to your needs.

The whole procedure is described in this troublehshooting guide:

Well, to start off the problem is occuring whenever I try to connect to LIVE with my new TV hooked to the Xbox. My old TV works fine with LIVE, but the old TV has some audio problems so we got a new one. The new one does not allow me to connect to LIVE.
I have a Xbox Arcade. The New TV is a Dynex 32" 720p. I am currently using a wireless connection.

Hi, I'm new here and not sure where or how to post a new chat! I'm having problems with live TV. We have satellite TV but the receiver is in the TV (Samsung) and not a separate box. We have 2 HDMI cables but there is no out HDMI port on the tv to connect
to the in HDMI port on the xbox one to connect the live tv. Is anyone able to help?

Unfortunately there is no way to connect the internal Receiver of the TV to the Xbox One for TV functions,

.

The HDMI IN on the Xbox One is designed to work with Satellite or Cable TV which involves having a separate box that normally connects to the TV with an HDMI cable.

Sorry but no - i have a samsung tv and a Denon Receiver. Connected the tv via optical cable, just like you, although hdmi would work in my case (i wanted the tv to handle all hdmi connections). When attaching the xbox via hdmi to the tv i had the exact same
problem you had - only stereo sound. Solution: connected the xbox to my Receiver via hdmi. The funny thing is: both xbox360 and ps3 had no problem with connection to my tv via hdmi.

Imo the xbox one has been poorly designed. This is not even half as bad as the problem that i cannot use live tv with a smart tv with integrated ci+ module...
