XBox360 -> XBoxOne -> TV HDMI signal transition will not work

SepiaHealer93 · Dec 24, 2015

It is recommended somewhere in FAQ to connect 360 to "HDMI In" outlet of the XOne. Being switched on, the One sees 360 as a TV and will not allow to play on 360. When One is off, the TV set does not see signal. I was under impression that HDMI signal should
be flatly transitioned through One, when it is off, but this behavior is described nowhere explicitly.

Did anybody face with the same problem? How did you solve it?

TV Brand & Model not shown

It is not the Kinect, because it works fine with my games etc...

TV: RCA RLC4299A

Sat Box: Bell 9241 HD PVR Reciever

TV Provider: Bell

Layout: Signal-->Reciever-->Xbox1-->TV (HDMI)

Signal-->Reciever-->TV (composite cables, from before Xbox1)

As I said, when setting up the TV to watch on the Xbox it does not recognize my TV, so I cannot set up my One Guide or anything.

No HDMI "Out" on TV

Hi there XB1 can only Input via HDMI - this means you`ll Need a Setup Box/reciever and from Setupbox with HDMI to XB1 (HDMI IN).

If your TV-Signal Comes straight out wall and if there is no reciever/setupbox between TV-TV-Outlet,

it will not work.

Your chain of Setup should be like:

TV-cable/satelite (Coax?) -> Setupbox/reciever-> from Reciever via HDMI ->
to XB1

I don't think connecting an Xbox 360 to the HDMI in on the Xbox One will work very well as I suspect it will add a small delay to the image received by the TV that will make games awkward to play.

I think a better solution for you would be to connect both consoles to a HDMI splitter or possibly the HDMI trough a soundbar of AV receiver.

No, it will not work, first, you will not be able to plug your Xbox360 with your XboxOne with a HDMI cable. Secondly, even if you could plug the two Xbox, your XboxOne will be seen as a TV for your xbox360. And finnally, at the end, you still must have an
xbox360 for the xbox360 games, and the xbox one for the XboxOne games.

A lot of the HDMI cables you see are 28AWG (size/thickness) If you are running all of your xbox360/xboxone/bluray player into a home theater receiver then into your tv. you might want to look at 24AWG HDMI cable. a lot of friend's I know had problems with
HDMI handshake and switching to 24AWG helped

No. It functions via HDMI in, if you're not feeding a signal via the HDMI in then there is nothing to view. I imagine converters for a bunch of tv signal styles are in the works though.

Yes, I have the latest update.

The HD adapter is for the cable TV. The coax cable comes into the house, connects to the adapter, and then a HDMI cable goes from the adapter into the XboxOne. Then the HDMI cable goes from the XboxOne to the stereo receiver then finally from the receiver
to the TV.

This has worked just fine since I got the XboxOne last year, but over the past few months the TV has been having this black out problem.
