ive flicked through all the av channels and theyre all giving me a blank screen.

um its the on with 6 cables, all with different colours. on the website it says dont plug in the yellow one for hd tv but that made no difference.
the switch on the xbox cable is also on hdtv rather than tv, so i dont know what else to try :/

hiya, on the plug bit by the xbox you'll see a little switch, change it and see what happens. sometimes it accidently moves.

the two options are tv and hdtv, this happened to me a while back and baffled me.

hope this is the right thing! if not then im sorry, but i dont know.

Right the cable you're using is called YBPR i believe on you're TV get to the options where u can choose HDMI 1 HDMI2 Scart etc and you should see YbPR or something similar choose this option and hey presto should work!

You're probably better off buying a 'Microsoft Xbox 360 VGA Cable'.
It contains 1 VGA output and a red/white output to plug into monitors and/or tvs.

Was never keen on the 6 plug hd thing due to it not working with my psp at the time!

Another alternative is to only use the normal y/w/r input.

if you want it in HD get a HDMI cable.

Probably because you're using an AV cable on a device capable of producing high definition, you will need a HDMI cable to get the best graphics out of it, only if your TV is HDMI enabled.
