Can I change TV inputs with the Xbox One?
I'm trying to use the Xbox One as my "universal remote" as much as I can, but there's one thing I can't seem to do with it - change TV inputs. I've seen it done on my parents' system via the SmartGlass remote, but the same button doesn't do the same thing for me.
I think the difference is that my parents are using their TV's built-in speakers, while my audio is output through a mini stereo system that my Xbox One is configured to control. When I use the input switch button on my SmartGlass, the stereo changes inputs instead of the TV.
Can I force the Xbox One to send input changes to the TV instead, or would I have to lose control of the stereo for that option?
