It’s a pretty good idea if you want to watch TV while you wait for a download š
Taken from Engadget …Ā You won’t have to reach for a remote the next time you’re ready to return to your Xbox after a TV session. Microsoft isĀ rolling outĀ anĀ updateĀ that lets you press the Xbox button on your controller to switch the input to yourĀ Series XĀ orĀ Series S. You can flip to cable TV during a download knowing that you just have to grab your controller when you’re ready to play.
The feature depends on the newer Xbox consoles’ support for HDMI-CEC. You can enable it through the “Sleep mode & startup” settings section through the “TV & A/V power options” selection.
Starting today, when you press Xbox button on your controller once you will be able to switch input back to your Xbox. If you are on a different TV input waiting for a download or update, you can press the Xbox button once to switch back to the Xbox input https://t.co/hbEs9ns27c pic.twitter.com/aOkIyVERJs

The concept isn’t completely new, whether in consoles or for HDMI-CEC devices in general Even so, it’s difficult to complain when this could save you time wading through TV menus just to get back toĀ Halo Infinite.
