The controller doesnt appear at all in the list of avialable bluetooth devices on the deck

  • I've updated the controllers firmare via accessories app
  • I've also checked in desktop mode its not showing
  • Putting a cable in it connects but I'm aiming for wireless so it can go on the TV

Its a 3rd gen xbox one controller - works fine with the PC

Which controller model is it exactly? You don't require any additional software on the deck to connect peripherals via Bluetooth. I've connected even two different generations of Xbox wireless controllers at the same time with my deck without problems.
Are you properly putting the controller into pairing mode when trying to connect?
