(Part 3) Top products from r/xbox

I guess it is possible this could be explained by that IR blaster mumbo jumbo that someone else mentioned, but I think that the far more likely explanation is that your Xbox is cursed. This video gives excellent advice about how to remove a curse. In my experience, the candle method is about 75% effective. If it doesn't work, you could submerge your Xbox in holy water for at least 1 hour. This method is 100% effective but there is a small chance the powerful spiritual energies involved could cause permanent damage to your Xbox. Additionally, holy water can be quite costly, and you will probably need at least a gallon of it to fully submerge the Xbox.

I don't know about mounting the XB1 itself, but I mounted my Kinect to the wall using a security camera mount like this

Try installing your disc to your harddrive. This usually helps with my games. If that doesn't work, Make sure your discs/disc tray is clean and not scratched. Maybe try one of these Clean Dr Laser lens cleaner in your xbox (http://www.amazon.co.uk/CleanDr-Laser-Lens-Cleaner-Xbox/dp/B0041A3JS0). If it's still freezing, try playing with no hard drive in. If none of these work, then you might need a new xbox

I've been using this one: http://www.amazon.com/Avertv-Definition-Analog-Capture-MTVHDDVRR/dp/B002SQE1O0

I'm not an av expert but it's been good enough for my needs, and the software that it comes with is decent.

For Windows support you'll want the wireless variant with Windows in the name, as the non-"Windows" variant doesn't include the dongle. The dongle works plug-and-play with Windows 7 (IIRC, or 8.x+). The dongle can also be bought separately. You might also want the Play-and-charge kit.

Adapters do exist for this purpose, but YMMV. Try this one I found:https://www.amazon.com/Mizar-Replacement-Xbox-Controller-Adapter-Microsoft/dp/B000RT2868 Original Xbox emulation is almost impossible though, Cxbx only runs a few games at medium speed

Even better, works the same as long as you've got a phone cable:

Would a pair of earbuds that has a built in mic like these work to the xbox one stereo headset adapter?

I started using rechargeable AA's after I saw a video where someone cracked open the play & charge kit and -- lo and behold, all it contained was two AA rechargeables.

Bought a nice charging station (with a "refresh" mode to discharge them completely then recharge and reset the battery's memory - which is why most of my play & charge kits were dying within a single year) and 4 AA's (2 for charging, 2 for being in the controller) and haven't ever had a problem.

IME, play & charge kits dying (not holding a charge, quickly light changes to green even though it's not fully charged, etc) is because you don't allow the battery to fully die before plugging it back into the cable, causing the battery to constantly "top up" all the time, and ruining the rechargeable AA's inside (they lose their "memory").

Well you could have gotten the Platinum Hits edition off of amazon for $15, so I'm not exactly sure what you were thinking.

You can pick a copy up on Amazon here

It's the spot where your charger connects, here is a new charging cable since you may not have one.

Any Cheap Mixer will do it. Example: http://www.amazon.com/Stanton-M203-Channel-DJ-Mixer/dp/B0049WCG9I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347803199&sr=8-1&keywords=dj+mixer+2+channel

I think this should work for you

The Xbox can't change the channels without the Kinect unless you use an IR extension cable.
Then you can't use voice to change the channels but should be able to use the controller.

Anchor Hocking 16-Ounce Café Mug Beverage Set, Set of 6 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CFQUGA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LshxybPR465E9

or even this? I'm trying to get 60fps

They did, also my high school classmate Ben Kweller did one.

Edit: Oops, here is the downloadable version, the first link was the CD.

1. Yes, that will give you 4K/60-fps. HDCP 2.2 is what you want.
   
2. DO NOT PAY $70 FOR THAT SHIT.
   
   I literally just picked up two 12-ft HDMI cables from Costco with the exact same specs for $16. BestBuy, or whatever store that is, is ripping you the fuck off. Here is literally the same quality/spec cable for $12 on Amazon.
   
   Go get your money back.
   
   Seriously, HDMI is a DIGITAL signal; it does not "degrade" or need extra fancy gold connectors and stuff like audio cables from the 90s did. It either works or it does not. Do not get suckered into spending five times as much because of bullshit marketing.
