Can I set my XBOX One to turn the TV on at the same time?
I have my Playstation 3 setup to turn the TV on when the games console turns on, this is really handy.
I've been searching through my XBOX One's options and can't seem to find this option, does it exist?
Thanks

Yes, the Xbox One can turn on TV and even your sound system when you turn on the system.
You can see how to do it directly on Xbox support site
When you first go to the TV app it will automatically launch setup, just follow the on screen instructions and you will be all set.
If you skipped the setup or want to do it differently you can go to settings->TV & OneGuide->Devices and set it all up there as well.
If you wish to use voice commands to control your TV, Kinect will be needed. Otherwise the controller and/or smartglass can do it.

If you notice that your Xbox One has lit up but nothing is coming on screen, the issue could be the HDMI cable itself. 1. Check to see if you've connected the HDMI cable properly to both the Xbox One and TV. If nothing comes on, try switching the HDMI ports on the TV.How to turn TV on or off from your XBox
