Xbox one TV

I bought an xbox one without the kinect last weekend and been playing around with it but I can't seem to get the one guide to work right. I can't seem to change channels? I don't know if I need the kinect for that?

It depends on how you're trying to change the channels. You can't use the remote to change the channels, since the Kinect is what receives the input to pass through the command for the TV, but you should be able to use the controller, and the Xbox smart
glass app.

 

I've tried using the controller but nothing happens when I used it. Would love to be able to use the controller for it but haven't had any luck yet

 

The Xbox should go through a setup process to make sure the Kinect is sending the correct commands. I think it just asks for your TV provider and then the cable box that you're using. I think it will test the Kinect sending the commands during the process.

 

You need the Kinect since that's what changes the channel. You can also just use your Tv remote.

 

Like Dangerboy said...the Kinect acts as an IR blaster... so if you don't have it there is no controlling any other components using your controller. Not sure you can even use the smartglass app since the only way your TV box would know to change the channel
is if it received an IR signal from Kinect.

You don't need Kinect.

Awesome! I was going to be worried. When I highlight a channel and push A button. It doesn't do anything? am I setting this up right

 

I don't see how the guides D33les posted will help you. Those guides he listed assume you have the Kinect version (see all the references to "Say Xbox On") etc that will only function WITH Kinect. Again... the Kinect acts as an IR Blaster for your other
components. Essentially you are tying to change channels on your cable box without your remote control. You can watch TV via the Xbox... you will just have to use your cable box remote to change changes when you are in the TV app on your Xbox1.
