xFinity shows "No Signal" in Pass-through

xFinity plugged into HDMI In works until you have a call. Then it shows No Signal on TV.

Updated over a week ago

Some of our Xfinity customers have seen "No Signal" on the TV when they configure the Pass-through option. In this case, the HDMI cable from Xfinity is plugged into the ONSCREEN HDMI In port and the ONSCREEN HDMI Out port is connected to the TV. After rebooting, the TV shows the Xfinity programs fine, but when a call comes over ONSCREEN the TV shows "No Signal" when going back to Xfinity.

This is a problem with the TV syncing back to the Xfinity signal. It should clear up if you follow the instructions from Xfinity to set the display resolution of the Xfinity cable box to 1080p instead of Highest Available.
