Hey all,
Not sure if this would be the right spot for this... please move if need be. I am going to try my best to describe my issue and see if anyone else has a set up like this or know of a possible fix. Its driving me nuts and bums me out. I apologize ahead of time for the long post.
I recently built a new home and in my living room I elected to put in above the fire place a standard wall plug along with two HDMI ports. Then on a different wall there are two other HDMI ports. What this essentially is, is a set of HDMI's (two) ran along inside the wall that acts as a bride/connector for lack of better words. So for simplicity sake lets call the different wall "B" and the fireplace wall "A". On wall "B" I have My Comcast cable box plugged into the HDMI one spot and then on wall "A" on the same HDMI one spot I have another HDMI cable coming off and into my Samsung KS8000 "all connect" box in HDMI port 1. All is good, the bridge works as intended. I have audio/video, can watch tv everything is good to go. Here is where my issue comes in. On the same wall "B" in HDMI port 2 I have my Xbox One S (Mainly used for the 4K player, the X is upstairs). Then again on Wall "A" I have another HDMI cable coming out of port 2 and into port 2 on my all connect box. I switch inputs on the KS8000 to input 2 and fire up the Xbox... no audio, no video. I get the standard message of no signal/device connected. Now I have trouble shoot and tried it in port 1, different cables, different power outlets etc. I have also just tried plugging the Xbox straight into the all connect box without using the behind the wall bridge and it works fine. So I came to the conclusion the Xbox doesn't seem to like the bridge. Anyone have any knowledge with something similar or something I could do to potentially make it work? I don't get why it works fine with Comcast but Xbox is so feisty. I also tried my PS4 Pro and that actually got a signal for a minute or so but flickered in and out like it was having a seizure.
So it looks like my gaming systems for whatever reason don't like this. But if Comcast works fine why don't they? They all require the same set up... HDMI cable to TV, there just is this one extra link in between. Anyone have any suggestions or have a similar set up with a resolution? Or am I just SOL here? Also if need be I can draw a quick diagram if it'll explain my situation better.
