Boy I wish I were 10 again........

I need help in connecting this new fangled thing called an Xbox One S to my primary TV. My grandkids aren't here to help right now. I have a pretty simple setup. Xfinity box gets cable signal in, HDMI cable out to TV and that's it.

Now comes along the Xbox, I buy an Astro A50 wireless headset and try I to get things up and running. So this is what I did:

Cable in -> Xfinity box
Xfinity HDMI output -> Xbox One HDMI input
Xbox One HDMI output -> TV HDMI input
Xbox One optical output -> A50 Base station optical input
Xbox One USB output -> A50 Base station micro input

So now I fire everything up and bingo, Xbox comes on the TV, headset works great and all is fine. But now I want to watch TV so I turn off the Xbox consule and there is no Xfinity signal to the TV.

So I must be connecting something wrong. A little help from the experts would be appreciated. Thanks
 
The Xbox has to be turned on to Pass Through any HDMI Input/Output.
Do you not have 2 HDMI Inputs on the TV ?
 
Yes I have 4 HDMI ins on the TV. One for Firestick, one for Apple TV, one for Blu Ray and now one for Xbox.
