    Re: Questions About Live TV on Xbox One?

    Having an issue with the Kinect and volume control on my television. The Kinect can control all other functions (Tv powers on/off via voice control) excluding volume. If I recall correctly, this was not always the case. Any ideas? @studbucket or anyone who knows, please.

      2 questions:
      1) What's the make/model of TV?
      2) Are you using voice or the Media Remote to control volume?

        Assuming you've already gone through the TV/volume setup again to make sure its not trying to send volume commands to a receiver?

          The digital TV tuner has officially been released for the US and Canada. You can use this (plus an antenna) to get free over-the-air channels in your area. I live in the Seattle suburbs and can pick up about 40 channels with a mid-range antenna.

          Up your game with Xbox in the official Microsoft Store. Explore Xbox Series X|S gaming consoles, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, games, accessories and special deals.


          The bundle at that link saves you $30. We've also had the best experience using Mohu antennas.

          Let me know if you have any questions.

              It shows up as another provider in OneGuide. So you'll have 1 provider's listings, a header, then the next provider. You can favorite from both and have those favorites live side-by-side in the guide.

                Cool beans, pretty sure we're going to order one to tinker with.

                    Yes, I believe it was in stock and available at the MSFT stores. Is it already out of stock online?

                      Yeah. Just ordered the non-bundled version this morning, will snag an antenna locally and get to tinkering when I get it next week.

                          Yeah I'll tinker with that and antennaweb later, probably end up ordering the amazon mohu 50 knockoff or grab something similar locally.

                          Edit - everything ordered.

                            Is there a way to easily switch between TV listings im missing? If I'm at like channel 500 on DirecTV I have to scroll all the way up past the single digits manually to get to the ota tuner guide.

                            I suppose I could say 'what's on NBC' to jump to channel 3, or add an OTA subchannel as a favorite and 'what's on ___' ? Neither are ideal though, wish they were options that folded out from the TV listings menu item in the left nav.

                              Not really, it's a problem we're aware of. You can use favorites to make it easier, and I think if you navigate to an OTA channel in favorites, going to the full guide should load there. Not ideal, I know.

                                Is there a way to use last channel and also volume control using IR blasters?

                                I am using a 3 end IR Blaster, cable, receiver, tv. Works great with power on/ off. Changing channel, but like the post above, would be nice to not have to scroll though hundreds of channels to get where I'm going.

                                But, if there a way to volume up/down with an IR Blaster? I believe you can with Kinect, but I don't have one.

                                Thank you
