I don't see why that wouldn't work. Going by that image, the X1 doesn't detect the type of TV, merely that there is a connection - you still manually select your TV type.

I'm still rocking a Yamaha DSP-A5 from thirteen years ago, so my set up will be a little simpler as it doesn't have HDMI. [I do want to get new receiver at some point though, as I'd like a receiver that does HD audio, so that would likely also have HDMI when I get round to getting one]

Sky+HD > Xbox One > TV

I did read something after the recent dash reveal confirming that the Sky+HD box works with the Xbox One's HDMI passthrough, but I can't find the damn article.

What I still want to know, though, is if the passthrough still works when the console is "off" (low power standby) or if it only works when it is fully powered up.

Although the "snap" stuff would be good, I don't want to have to have the console fully powered up every time I want to watch Sky+HD, especially as although we'll have "snap" we won't have the One Guide overlay stuff until next year.
