[Data Point] Xbox One and DirecTV Wireless Receiver (C41W-500) HDMI Passthrough works!

I see there was no posted resolution in this post from a year back - https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/1upwd6/directv_genie_c41_mini_client_and_xbox_one_tv/?ref=search_posts.

I had similar issues where X1 wouldn't detect the signal from receiver and asks me to make sure to plug in the HDMI.

I changed video resolution on the wireless receiver to only 720p and 1080p and shutdown all devices (receiver, TV, X1). Waited for a minute, turned on and Xbox automatically picked up Live TV from DirecTV!

Other methods I tried included turning on and off each device and plugging HDMI into various ports. None of these worked of course.

Another solution I read in one of Logitech harmony troubleshooting was to hard reboot X1 - 8 seconds hold down power button and wait 30 seconds before turning. I never had to do this though.
