    Xbox one TV Tuner question


    Hi all,

    Would it work if I connected digital coax direct from my sky dish to the TV tuner?

    I am wanting to have tv through my xbox one and as I already have a spare feed from my satellite dish to the room where the xbox one will be, it is the easiest option. I only need free channels so would prefer not to have another box (sat box or freeview
    box etc) Would it pick up freesat channels?

    Or does it only work from an aerial?

    From the images I've seen it looks like the input is the oldschool coax type and not the new digital type.

    Any help appreciated.

    Cheers

    Gaz

    :)

    Is quality of video from Digital TV tuner through Xbox the same as direct connection for UHD 4K Tv's

    it's very difficult for me to find a channel where I can do a consistent comparative test to get an answer to my question.

    I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with some information.

    I have a small Motorola udta100 digital tuner from Time Warner Cable. I've connected it via HDMI to Xbox one, although unfortunately, Xbox one cannot control the Digital tuner channels even though it's in ther list. Xbox one however does control my television
    fine so I get a lot of benefit there.

    So i'm not really sure in terms of video quality of there really isn't a lot of value whether the Motorola digital tv tuner goes through Xbox one to my TV set or plug the Motorola digital Tv tuner directly to the TV set itself.

    So my question is. whether the quality of the video is better, same or worse when watching Live TV if I connect the Motorola digital Tv tuner directly to the TV versus going through the Xbox one.

    Hey Pixel,

    Sky freesat is different to freeview. You still need to use their boxes as the signal is still encrypted and you need the viewing card. The tv tuner is for un-encrypted signals - the tuner was never designed to take a viewing card etc as it would have pushed
    the price up too far.

    If this doesnt answer your question please create a new thread so support spot that you need help.

    USB Digital TV Tuner no longer finds any channels after disconnecting, reconnecting and rescanning

    This may be irrelevant, but I have a question about the TV tuner. I understand that you plug the tuner into the XB1 through USB, not HDMI. I have an Xbox 360 hooked up to my XB1 through the HDMI-in port. In order to play 360 games, I have to use the TV app,
    and the TV tuner uses the TV app as well in order to work. I also understand that when you plug in the TV tuner, the OneGuide separates the TV tuner channels from the "HDMI content". My question is this: if I have a TV tuner with a coax cable connected through
    the XB1's USB port AND an Xbox 360 connected through the XB1'S HDMI-in port (both at the same time), can I switch between my Xbox 360 and my TV tuner when using the TV app? Thanks for the help!

    Sky TV And Freeview

    Hey there, dylanere2! These are wonderful questions, and I hope that I can get you the answers you're looking for!

    Yes, you can connect a Freeview HD box and control it via HDMI passthrough.

    Yes, you can connect an aerial to the TV Tuner to receive the Freeview channels and control them with your voice. You can see more on that on our

    Xbox One Digital TV Tuner     support article.

    The TV Tuner can only access unencrypted terrestrial and cable content, not encrypted or satellite signals. You should be able to connect your satellite or cable box to the HDMI connection and have it set up that way.

    If you have any other questions regarding the TV Tuner, we be more than happy to answer them to the best of our ability! :3

    If your TV has in-built Freeview, can you still use Live TV on your Xbox One, and how?
