Connecting my xbox 360 to my cable box

I have recently been gifted a flat screen TV. It's HDMI inputs are being used by the cable box & my blue ray player. What I want to do is connect my gaming console to the cable box. Can someone instruct me on how to do this and how to access it once connect? Thank you.

 You can switch the blue ray HDMI cable to xbox whenever you wanna use it.   OR buy a HDMI splitter.

  • Trying to connect an XBOX 360 to my airport base station via  ethernet cabl

    Hello,
    I have the older snow airport base station and was trying to connect my xbox 360 to it via an ethernet port. There are only 2 ethernet ports on the snow base station. one is being used by the cable coming from my dsl modem. the other free port i tried plugging into my xbox 360 to no avail. the xbox cant get an ip address. the open ethernet port on the base station is labeled with the circle logo. the one being used by my dsl modem has the two outer pointing arrows. I turned off the airport to my macbook and tried to connect my macbook to that port my xbox was in and it would not connect to the net either. Is it possible, i have the ports backwards. my wireless internet for all 3 mac computers works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
    Thanks!!!
    Vinny

    Yes, you have the ports connected backwards.
    The WAN port is labelled with the "circle of dots" icon, and must be connected to your DSL modem.
    The LAN port is labelled with the "double-headed arrow" icon, and that is where you connect ethernet cabled devices on your LAN.
    See Apple's article AirPort Base Station: About the WAN and LAN Ports
    What is surprising is that you haven't previously run into all sorts of problems with your existing setup. Once you cable things properly, you will likely have to power down your DSL modem and Base Station for a while (sometimes just an instant, sometimes overnight). After waiting, plug the modem into power and wait a minute. Then plug the base station into power and wait for it to restart.

  • Can I use the mini displayport to vga adaptor with the xbox vga cable to connect my xbox 360 to my macbook pro?

    I'm trying to find a way to connect my xbox 360 to my mackbook pro. I've searched the internet and found that I can use a eagle eye device but, its to expensive. So after looking at the xbox website, I found a vga adaptor for my xbox and an vga to mini displayport and I was wondering if this would work.

    The minidisplay port is output only. It's not going to show anything from your xbox.

  • Qosmio G20 VGA in for connecting to XBox 360

    How can i connect a Xbox 360 to the qosmio using a VGA HD cable like this?
    http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360vgahdcable/
    Is it possible to use the fantastic monitor of the Qosmio to play?
    Any help apreciated

    Mores is right, there is no VGA input on the Qosmio G20 (I wish there was though), you have to use an S-Video connection from your Xbox. Using the Qosmio player works perfectly well, there's no delay at all, the only problem I had was the video quality was utterly terrible. S-Video out from my 360 to a TV was fine, but input into the laptop looked awful, oh well!
    Cheers,

  • Unsure about connecting my Xbox 360 to soundcard

    I have searched this forum and looked at the stickies to determine if this is possible before posting but am a little confused so I decided to ask for clarification...
    I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional Series installed in my PC
    I am considering purchasing the Sound Blaster Digital I/O module
    Is it possible to get 5. surround from my PC speakers if I connect my Xbox 360 to this setup using the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable?
    Are there any downsides to doing so? Sound lag, skips, etc?

    I don't really know.. I got a Auzentech Prelude with SPDIF (supporting optical) input and output and even after Dolby Li've or DTS is activated on my system I get no sound whatsoever if I activate Dolby Digital on my Xbox360?
    Is it supposed to be like that? No sound when running Dolby Digital through a optical cable to my Auzentech Prelude?
    Dolby Stereo works, but then again I guess it wont really utilize my 7. speaker setup at all?
    Or does the sound card upmix to 7. or something, even when running Dolby Stereo on the Xbox360?
    No sound at all if I select Dolby Digital or that Dolby Digital WMA thing.. I thought Auzentech Prelude supported both Dolby Digital and that WMA thing?
    At least the SPDIF / Optical output does?

  • How do I connect my Xbox 360 to my iMac

    I want to use my imac as a TV so i want to know how to connect the xbox 360 to my imac.
    Thank you for your support

    What iMac model do you have ?
    The 2011 ThunderBolt iMacs only work with other ThunderBolt Macs Thunderbolt 10.6 Help: Using another Mac as an external display
    For the 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs with Mini DisplayPort you would need something like the Kanex XD http://www.kanexlive.com/xd
    The Kanex XD is not compatible with ThunderBolt iMacs.

  • Connecting my xbox 360 (elite) to my macbook pro?

    I recently got a Macbook pro for christmas, and was wondering if there was anyway that I could connect my xbox 360 elite to it. I want to use the my macbook screen as a screen for my 360, at least until I can afford a new TV (roommate knocked my 32" samsung off its stand and broke it christmas day...).
    I heard there is a VGA coord from microsoft that connects from a vga port to the back of the xbox, and i have the DVI to VGA adapter for the mac already. Was just making sure this works before I spend the $50.
    Thanks!

    Broschati,
    No, this won't work. The DVI port on your Macbook Pro is for video out. The Macbook Pro's display is connected directly to the GPU, and there is no way to input video to it.

  • Connecting Panasonic HD TVs to HD Cable box

    I have 2 HD Panasonic TVS. I have tried to connect them to a Verizon 6200 Cable box. This does not have a DVR. When I connect using the HDMI connetion there is no picture or sound. If I connect these TVS to a HD CAble box with multi room DVR they connect.
    I have contacted Panasonic and Verizon and have received little help.

    This post belongs in the FiOS TV Technical Assistance board, but I will reply.
    Need more information on your setup. What is your DVR box model?
    Have you tried the 6200s with component cables? If so do they work?
    Are the 6200 doxes connected directly HDMI to the TV?
    I have heard of issues with HDMI and QIP-6xxx series boxes, and much has been done to resolve these issues with upgrades and changes to the img software. If you must have HDMI and the DVR is the QIP-7xxx series, you may want to see if you can get the QIP-6200 boxes upgraded. But it may be difficult to get both boxes replaced if component cables work.

  • Can't connect to xbox 360

    my wireless-b router works perfectly on my desktop but it can't seem to connect to my xbox 360. how can i fix this?

    To make your XBOX work fine wirelessly with your Router, you need to make some changes on your Router as well as on your Router i think this might solve the problem...
    Here are some settings which you can set on your Router as well as on  your XBOX.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
    2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    3) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
    4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
    IP Address: 192.168.X.[last part of ip in your device]    e.g. if static ip given to the device was 192.168.X.10 get the last part and put that to the empty box.

  • Connecting to XBox 360 issue

    Can anyone help me on this? I have the XBox 360 wifi accessory and when I go to set up my network settings, and do the search for connection to XBox Live, it tells me that it isn't connected, but I've set everything up correctly. I've called XBox and they can't help because they are idiot Microsoft people. I spent $100 bucks on this thing, they won't take it back at Gamestop, and XBox is telling me it is because of my TimeCapsule 500GB Wireless N Router that it can't connect. Can anyone help me get this thing working?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Dizzle,
    The XBox 360 wireless network device won't work with 'N' mode, you you need to set your Time Capsule to b/g mode so that your Xbox can connect.
    Because I prefer to have my network in 'N' mode (it's faster), the way I've done it is to purchase an Airport Express in addition to the Time Capsule.
    This is how to set this up: Plug the Airport Express into a power outlet near your Xbox, then run an ethernet cable from the express into the Xbox ethernet port. In Airport Utility, set up the Express to join an existing network (the one that the Time Capsule is on) and set it up to accept ethernet clients.
    If you decide to get an Airport Express, you may be able to sell your Xbox wifi unit on ebay or something.
    I hope that helps!
