  1. Make sure you're running it on your TV as normal. Now your Xbox One is set up, you will now need to plug the power cable in to the plug for your Xbox 360 and have your Xbox 360 console near to your Xbox One and make sure you have your Xbox 360 powered and ready to go. Make sure the Xbox 360 is NOT plugged into your TV, but yet powered.
