TVDrive in HDMI mode

Just got my TVDrive installed and the lazy engineer just used the current SCART cable rather than pull out my sony 50"er , so I plugged the the HDMI cable in but I'm just getting a black screen when I select the HDMI port on my TV.



Any Ideas?

its from the display and audio settings, press the TV Home button, the blue one and I think its the top right option.

Cheers that worked, but I think I'll stick with the SCART for now as the picture on normal TV is terribly grainy especially at 1080i


Cheers

Try setting to 720p and using the hdmi again, I get a great picture on SD material that way.

Regards

John.
