Xbox One

Me too. I don't even have my TiVo connected through the Xbox anymore. The voice stuff is the feature they really advertised their TV support for though. In my experience the only thing it was good for was pausing and resuming TV if I was eating and didn't want to touch the remote with my greasy hands.

If you aren't using voice controls the only thing the HDMI pass through is good for is snapping TV off to the side while you play a game. Since there isn't much TV content I want to watch in a little window while I play a game at the same time I just unhooked it so I wouldn't have to turn the Xbox on every time I watch tv.

My advice to ChadT41 is that he shouldn't bother buying an IR blaster or running his Dish receiver through the Xbox since he doesn't have a Kinect.

Most people you're going to find on here, especially this thread, are already going to be Dish members trying to get their XBox. If you want a recommendation, go to the DTV Facebook page, and poach the angry customers over Media General. Twitter also. Any forum that allows you to do that. May be able to get some of ATTs as well.
