Begin by going into the TV & OneGuide settings and choosing Devices. This will take you back into the three option page. Select Cable or Satellite Box Model. This will bring up search box. Type in the company you receive your cable or satellite through. For example, if you have AT&T U-verse, simply type in AT&T. This will send a power-on signal to your cable or satellite box. Since you are paying attention to the Xbox One screen, listen for your cable/satellite box to activate, or look to see if it powers on. If it does, accepting this will gain the link between your Xbox One and your cable or satellite hardware.

It should be noted that using your TV app with an unlisted cable provider, such as CenturyLink's Prizm, may cause a disruption with the app itself. Please contact Microsoft before trying to set up your cable if your cable company is not easily accessible on the OneGuide set-up hub.

Now, go into the OneGuide settings under TV & OneGuide. You will need to enter TV lineup. Punch in your zip code and once again choose your cable or satellite provider. This will bring up a list of all of your channels. You may also allow for Microsoft to monitor what you watch for research purposes.

You will need to plug your cable or satellite box into your Xbox One at this time. Unplug your cable or satellite box from the television and instead plug it into the back of the Xbox One. This will link the two devices together. Now you may watch television on your Xbox One. Be sure to set your favorite channels at your leisure.

It's pretty cool that the Xbox One has capabilities such as this. Looking past all the hate that it gets, the ability to watch TV on your console sure is quite convenient.
