Just tell them to turn on the xbox one.....LOL...it's not that complex

You have to know your audience, lol.

I've heard rumors that some beta users had an HDMI splitter sitting between their STB and Xbox One.

Hmm...that sounds like it would be a winner too. Maybe I'll pick one up from Amazon Prime and try it. I'm waiting on a new TV so all of my cables are out and the bulky component cables are kind of an eye sore for the time being.

Re: Xbox One

Rawdog & bigjoe - totally get the feedback and frustration.

The way the hardware is designed, it's physically impossible to enable passive passthrough. The Xbox has to be on to do processing. Some AVRs are like this as well.

The HW was designed 2-3 years ago, well before I started working on TV/OneGuide, and I'm not aware of the discussions that happened. However, I did bring this up to the hardware team a few months ago, so they aware of this in case they want to make any changes in the future.

Stud, welcome our boards and community. If you haven't seen already you have some of the most passionate gamers in here..

Stud could you also take back the issue of BR Movies not being able to be bitstreamed. Right now everything is being sent as uncompressed audio via HDMI

Re: Xbox One

So you can pause, rew, ff etc recordings in the snap with voice commands as long as you switch? That is awesome.

That's correct, but you won't be able to control what's on the main screen during that time. So if you are playing a game when you want to fast forward, you would want to pause the game before switching.

Will do. You basically want to be able to output compressed audio via Blu-Ray?

Re: Xbox One

Don't feel bad, I'm not connecting my cable box to my XB-1 either for that same reason.

Haven't made the jump to ONe yet, I will but not yet. I was planning on getting an HDMI splitter so that from my cable box, the out splits to my Onkyo receiver as it does now and the second out from my cable box goes into the ONE.

That way I can watch TV without my ONE on and my wife will not have any issues as nothing will have changed but if I want to snap the signal using One it will still be active through the One as the signal is split there too.

Stud;

This is what I did after setting up the XBone.....
It worked....but when I shut everything down and started it up later....I had to reconfigure it again.
This was using my Sony Digital A/V Control Center.
For me not much of a pain as my splitter is right next to the CC on my desk...but if it was behind my desk.....it would be a bit of a pain(unplugging and plugging it back in to "recognize" it I guess.)
Could be my splitter.
It is self powered though(not just a pass through)....so I can't see that being the problem.
I'll keep you updated.

Re: Xbox One

Studbucket,

Can you let us know if we are or aren't supposed to use a surge protector?

Re: Xbox One

Am I wrong in thinking that the Day One edition Xbox One's were supposed to come with FIFA 14 or a download code for it?

I didn't try it(I thought they said it wasn't working)...as it's a gift and I didn't want to chance it.....

But I would like to know....and if it's no....maybe an explanation as to why?

Thanks!

Speaking of splitters, anyone have one they recommend? I'd like to have one just so everyone doesn't have to use the One to watch TV.

That was a Europe thing.
