Hey guys

Ive just got me the HD -drive ....My tvs a Sony 46'' 1080p set

When ive got my 360 set to 1080p and try and play a dvd theres white lines across the screen.....When i set the xbox to 1080i it plays fine.

Could this be a faulty HD drive?.....or cant the 360 handle 1080p movie playback?

Thanks

So have you set your 360 at 1080p?

Thanks

your tv prob doesnt do 1080p throrugh component then

You are limited to 1080i by Component for copyright issues. You have to connect up with HDMI or VGA to get 1080p.

For similar reasons, DVD upscaling is only available when using VGA or HDMI too.

I have an old 360 with Component or VGA, I also have an HD Drive.

Will this work -

VGA to HDMi converter into the HDMi port = 1080p?

My TV won't do 1080p over VGA but will over HDMi, so if I send 1080p via the VGA into the HDMi converter then into the HDMi port which does accept 1080p, will I get 1080p from my HD Drive??

or will it be cheaper to get a new 360.....

I'm getting the same problem when playing certain games on the 360. Resi 5 gets the white line effect and I am on maximum resolution through a HDMI.
( If I drop to 1080i its fine)

My TV is the new SONY WE5 40" , so no problems with being able to handle the 1080p.

I am playing through a Sony HTS-100. Could this be affecting the playback of certain stuff?

I'm thinking of connecting directly to the TV via HDMI and using the audio dongle for optical connection to the HTS-100. Would this solve the problem,?
