Xbox Series S & Virgin media

PeteHorgan · Feb 8, 2022

Hi, I have just moved from an Xbox One to an Xbox Series S.

I used to have my Virgin Media set top TV box connected to the One via One Guide. It was exceptionally handy for wife and kids to swap between apps, rather than sources.

Does anyone know a way I can recreate this on the S? There isn't an option to utilise the HdMI in like on the One.

Thanks

Pete

I'm afraid that isn't possible as Microsoft removed OneGuide from the store last year and there isn't quite another app that can recreate that right now. Also the Series X|S doesn't come with an HDMI in connector like the Xbox One so that's another challenge.

Hope this helps

There isn't as the Series S and X do not have an HDMI in connector. It was never really regarded as a hugely popular feature overall. To have added it to the Series consoles would have increased the cost of the mainboard.

You'll have to go back to switching the source.

100mbps Broadband from Virgin Media. Get roughly 12.5MB/s. Can usually hit up to 44gig in an hour.

The Streaming Media side is of no interest to me in all honesty, get all the TV stuff I need from my Virgin Media subscription, prefer my games console to focus more on providing a better gaming experience then TV options etc

[/quote]Actually, I was shocked how much Virgin does not get of on-demand content Xbox/Ipad/PC gets more of the recent stuff, Virgin is better for the slightly older stuff or entire series.
