HD-DVD Problems

Hi folks
I bought a new HD-DVD drive for my 360 last week. It all started great - I watched Iwo Jima with no probs at all. However, I then played Transformers that I received through Lovefilm and I found it to be jerky to the point where it actually froze. When I rebooted the HD-DVD would not play *any* HD films - SD DVDs played with no probs at all.

Sods law, I took it back and it all worked fine for a week and just today I played Full Metal Jacket, which again froze, rebooted, nothing worked, gave it about 3 hours and it all works fine...?!?!

The shop say they will do a swap in case it is the drive but was wondering if anyone had had similar problems?

My one would occasionally go all blocky when watching Phantom of the Opera. Never could figure out what was causing

Re: HD-DVD Problems

People have had problems with cookies etc I believe, in the 360 dashboard delete everything from the HD-DVD drive and try the films that don't work again.
