If your home theater has true HDMI you can attach your cable box and xbox into the receiver’s HDMI inputs, then run one HDMI into your tv out of the receiver’s HDMI output. Then you just change inputs on the receiver for the items.

If it doesn’t have the HDMI hookups, then just run your HDMI for both things into the tv. Then run optical cables straight from the cable box into the receiver, bypass the tv, and do the same with the xbox. Turn off the tv’s sound. Choose the appropriate HDMI input on the tv and the optical input on the receiver as needed for each item.
