just a thought but on the xbox 360 scart lead i think theres a switch on it that allows you to change from HD to normal could try flicking that cant do any harm

Un plug it all and start again.....have you made sure you have all correct HD Cables in....as you need to plug in a total of 5 of the jack cables to back of TV

Yeh your going to have to go back........or are you srure you have your tv on right channel? Silly question....but my mate did that.....he pressed the AV button on his TV remote and it brought up grey screen with sound and no picture....then he pressed AV again and it brought it all up....

TV will have various scart outputs....make sure its right one

Strange though, I can use the HD lead but switch the channel to AV-1 and play though AV through the HD cables if the box is switched to AV.
