    I've had another look and the first thing is that the game won't play at all unless I switch to the PAL 60 mode, and then it's unplayably blurred.

    I've only got three plugs in the TV because there are only three holes in the panel at the front. The other set of three leads just hang down from a T-piece on the wire.

    i use the scart bit that came with the 360 and plug the 3 plugs into it; the red, white and yellow

    You do realise thats the worst quality picture because its COMPOSITE only (1 signal) ~ True scart cables use RGB (3 separate signals)
    :idea:

    I believe he's talking about the little scart converter, where the composite cables plug into the back of the scart plug.

    Yes he is. But its still composite video only (Not true RGB)

  • Yeah, I've realised that I'm getting my composite and component mixed up again. :)

    Thanks all, just wanted to report that I'm now using the HDMI cable and everything's working fine, can use Call Of Duty, Gears of War, even Rayman's Rabbid Rabbits!
