    Xbox wont send commands to DirectTV to change channel


    This week has been bad enough with all the xbox outages a mess ups. Only thing that has been working was my tv. Now after recent update xbox one guide or voice commands dont change the channels on the TV. So I gotta find my direct tv remote to change the
    channels.

    Ive done the hard power cycle on both console and cable box still nada.

    Work perfect untill you guys had to fix something that wasnt broken.

    Whats next after this gets fixed? Whats going to go down next?

    :)

  2. XBOX One Guide wont give commands to Direct TV reciever

    My DirectTV receiver (HR24500) is unresponsive to my XBOX One Guides commands. For Example, If I say "Xbox Watch AMC" the xbox will sent me to the tv app and show that it is trying to pull up AMC, however the channel never changes. I would like to have control
    over my DVR such as pause, rewind, change the channel using my Xbox one guide. After several hours of talking to customer support they told me just to use my remote control! Can anyone give me better guidance than this.

    Science Channel Command??

    I have DirectTV and it list Science channel as SciHD. I have tried every combo sci-h-d, science-h-d, science channel. I always get directed to starz, scyfy , spike tv and occasionally fox news. Id like to know what the command is as well!

    No go on a Microsoft Camera and Microphone

    These days, stuff does not get hacked easily. Most ways of getting past security these days are based on social engineering (fooling people into giving you what you need for access)

    -

    The Kinect will typically just be listening for commands. Not recording and sending stuff elsewhere. It'll be listening for "XBOX CHANGE CHANNEL TO NBC" and think "94% match to input command "XBOX CHANGE CHANNEL TO NBC" -> Execute that command.

    New problems changing channels on my Mediasonic HW180STB.since April update?

    If you cover the IR sensor on the HW180STB the moment after the xbox sends the channel number (e.g. 5-1) then the xbox successfully will change the channel. The April update must have included that extra "enter" command which has now ruined the channel
    changing function. You can still change the channel if you use the up and down arrows on the right side of the xbox remote since that is only a "Channel Up" or "Channel Down" function.

    Xbox one guide

    On OneGuide you must select select the active show within the channel for it to work, clicking on the actual channel does nothing.

    When saying a channel command, for example 'Xbox Watch HBO', do you get the prompt in the top right which shows said command where the xbox is trying to send the command?

    You could also try using the up/down D-Pad buttons on the contoller (this sends a signal to the set-top box for channel up/down). If that doesn't work then the set-top is likely not recieving these commands correctly.

    OneGuide functionality in the UK

    I am from Russia. I recently bought a Xbox One. It works fine and understands my voice commands in English.

    In Xbox One (OneGuide) no support for Russian cable television providers. And no voice commands to change channels.

    I'd like to have voice commands: NEXT CHANNEL, PREVIOUS CHANNEL and CHANNEL [NUMBER CHANNEL].

    Xbox One and Cox Receiver Compatibility

    It doesn't work properly. The Xbox sends extra commands after channel changes that causes problems with Cox making it basically unuseable without having your remote which kills the whole point of the Xbox one.
