Xbox One: 10 Best Tips & Tricks You Must Try
5. All Xbox Ones Give You An Extra HDMI Slot
A relic of the “Home Entertainment” drive of the original Xbox One launch, every Xbox One has a HDMI In port as well as the usual HDMI Out that’s used to connect your console up to your TV. The HDMI In port can be used to run another signal through your Xbox. This means you’ve got one extra HDMI port, on top of the ones in your TV.
To get started, plug in your HDMI compatible device to the marked HDMI In slot, such as a Chromecast, Firestick, or PS4 if you’re feeling cheeky, and launch the TV App from your Xbox One. This essentially acts as your source input.
If you want to run your Satellite TV through the Xbox One, be sure to install OneGuide on your console to get the best experience.
Having an extra HMDI slot is a great perk to have, but there will be slight latency delays if you choose to connect another console through your Xbox One.
