Switched from the composite to an HDMI cable on my Xbox 360 this week and it's been causing me fits. The video will cut out completely after a wile (usually an hour) and will only come back after shutting it down and starting it back up again. Seems to only do it wile playing games as I tried it during movie playback and would only flicker a couple of times but not cut out completely.

Any thoughts? I've tried 3 different HDMI cables so it's not that and I've tried a couple of ports on the TV.

 

  yegods that sounds awful. No idea on the solution.

 

Did you flick the switch to HDMI?

 

I was unaware that there was even an HDMI cable available for it.  

 

that's because it is only available on the new units

 

Although there's a 3rd-party adapter out there (we sell it at Best Buy) that converts the standard outputs over to HDMI w/ an optical out... For those 360 owners who don't have the 'new' consoles already with the HDMI outputs.

 

Sounds like you've got a gremlin. I googled the issue and came up with nothing.

If you have two HDMI ports on your TV try switching them and see if it likes the other port.

Lame, I know but it's the only thing I could think of.

 

It's not just your Three-fitty. My PS3 HDMI does that sometimes, but not during gaming or movie, sometimes when I switch it on it comes out blue, but if I shut my TV off and on, it will fix it. Then again, I got a 20 dollar cheap cable.

 

Check your TV. My bro has an Olevia 32 LCD and the it wont even accept the HDMI from the 360.

 

What resolution have you got it set at?

 

Did you try reversing the polarity?

 

What that avatar from?

 

Check it for what specifically?

Whatever the default is, I fiddled with some settings to no avail.

The what now?

 

Cutie Honey.

 

He was referring to the model. Olevia has a 32" LCD that has problems w/ HDMI & 360 connection.

 

Never even heard of that brand before.

 

Target and Circuit City stores sell them here in the US.
