“xbox one adaptable? I want to connect the following to my new smart tv: 1: cable 2: xbox one 3: xbox 360 4 ps3 geek squad recommended I use this rocketfish hdmi 4 port selector to do so as my tv has 2 hdmi ports. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/rocketfish-4-port-hdmi-selector/2947005.p?id=1218365975397&skuId=2947005 my question is, how would this work with a xbox one which requires I run the cable to it and then it to the tv? normally, all devices are supposed to go in to the inputs, then one output from the device should go to the tv. If I do that I am no longer running my cable through my xbox one and unable to use its uI features.”

Didn't attempt to connect any of the above (other than cable). Tried the ole stand-bys: Blue Ray, Apple TV, etc. therefore I can't comment other than to say that if the more simple items didn't work...be advised. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You wouldn't want to run anything in to the Xbox One, as that's just a waste of power. You're using like 30 watts all the time to keep the Xbox One in standby, and then running it full blast just to essentially use it as an expensive HDMI switch. Just set the One to do a real shut down instead of standby, and plug your cable box or whatever directly into the TV or HDMI switch. Regarding this switch, I've seen multiple reviews say this doesn't work well or at all with game systems. In the case of the Xbox One, they were having to reboot the switch every time to get it to work.
