Re-Kinect

Damn, the Kinect is needed in order for the XBox to turn on the TV and receiver.

Dis-Kinect

The Kinect has bet disconnected from the XBox.

For the longest time it was only good for turning the XBox on or off, and sometimes not even off.  It never seemed to be able to do things as advertised, like ‘watch the Giants game’ or ‘watch Netflix’.

And to be honest, I had it on there for Dad, since he had difficulty with the XBox remote and the power switch on the XBox itself.  Once he turned it on via Kinect, he could use the cable box remote to change channels.

I was the one who usually turned it off before bed.
