    Oi oi,

    So, I've had a weird "problem" with my Series S and my TV for almost a year now, that I just can't work out.

    To make it work, I HAVE to turn on my TV first, then my Xbox.

    If I turn on my Xbox first, then the TV after, the TV just gets stuck in a loop where it just turns itself on and off again until the xbox is turned off.

    Any ideas? It's not a real problem, I'd just like to understand what the hell is going on

    @sombre: Well Guv'nor do you have HDMI-CEC enabled under "settings" "TV and display" "deice control"? What about "console turns on other devices" and "console turns off other devices"? Because it sounds to me like your Xbox is trying to control the power of your TV but there is a compatibility problem and the Xbox isn't getting confirmation fo its commands so it keeps issuing a power command over and over. If I knew the model of your TV I might have other ideas.

    Pip pip, cheerio!
