Nintendo switch

Ambzk — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 21:00:27 GMT

Ive got a nintendo switch and trying to set it up in the dock to play on sky glass.

It's not working in ans HDMI slot. It's recognising something is plugged in, but nothing coming up on the TV. It's a brand new switch, so can't be a problem with the cables. Really frustrating and can't seem to find any answers Online.

@Ambzk

You could try it in HDMI #3 with the compatibility switch toggled in the Glass settings.

Ive tried 😞 no luck with that way .. I've tried every variation of what order I plug the cable in, turn the switch on, dock it etc and it's just having none of it !! .. I just dont understand 😞

Tempted to suggest the issue might be the HDMI cable if you're getting the same result on all three of the HDMI ports on your Glass TV, with or without the compatibility setting..

Got a Switch OLED here connected on HDMI 1 on our 43" Glass TV(Apple TV is on HDMI 2), which works quite happily. Can confirm that the Switch definitely works with Glass TV ok.

Thank you, I'll try with a different cable just now and see if it works. Strange as the switch is brand new and it is showing that's it's recognised in the ports when going to the apps/inputs on the telly, its just not streaming. The joys of technology eh🤣

Mine works fine although I had to plug it all in then put it on the correct hdmi channel then boot the switch from off to on and let it start up

Hi we are having the same problem Nintendo works with another tv so hdmi cable is fine must be an issue with sky glass have you had any luck sorting this ?

@Ambzk @Ben173

Although the additional bandwidth isn't needed, some users have had more success with HDMI 2.1 cables ('8K'-rated). There's no need to pay silly prices though: Amazon Basics cable (or their equivalent) is fine as long as it meets the manufacturing standard.

Hi, did anyone get a resolution to this issue? Just bought a Sky Glass Gen 2, trying to connect the switch which works fine on previous tv and others in the house. Tried different HDMI cables and ports, compatibility settings, and suggestions on previous posts, but the Sky Glass will not connect to it. It knows something is plugged in, it just won't connect it.

Did anyone resolve this, it recognises the hdmi cable is plugged into HDMI 3, but not working?

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? Our Nintendo switch connects fine on an older TV upstairs but won't connect to the 65" sky glass air. Not detected on any of the HDMI ports. Connected to HDMI3 and turned on "older device connection" and still the same. Just doesn't register the connection at all.

I got this working by using a sky hdmi cable, none of the others worked. I dont why, but this was the solution.
