Hope you all had a good x mas and would be grateful if you could answer my request.
Approx 1 month ago i moved house and with the move treated my self to a Pioneer 5000 ex. I replastered the living room connecting one 5m QED HDMI cable to the screen leaving a clean looking screen and all my kit in the opposite end of the room out of site.
I then have a Sky HD box and AV amp in the corner, for Xmas i git bought a XBOX 360 with HD DVD Drive fantastic i thought as i already had a QED HDMI splitter so it would just be a case of connecting the Xbox to the QED splitter with a HDMI cable.
If only it was that simple as most of you probably know Microsoft do not use digital output for there prodcut unlike the Sony Playstation 3. No worries i thought lets settle for component and get a component - HDMI converter this works fine for 1080i however will not let the HD DVD drive transmit at 1080p which i am dying to see on the screen.
After doing some more searching in this forum it seems that the HD DVD drive can only transmit 1080p on a VGA cable. So i purchased a VGA - HDMI converter went into the Xbox settings and changed the resolution to 1920 x 1080 the pioneer screen then gives a message saying not supported!!!
If i had some hair i would pull it out i promise and would be forever indebted if someone could cure my problem.
