Hey guys, wierd problem I have...

I have an LG LCD TV.. bought it not too long ago (month and a bit). Have premium 360 bundle so HDCables.

I can't run feeding frenzy because it says my TV is PAL-50 and the game only supports PAL-60...

Also I can't change any settings of the TV through the 360 because it says I need HD cables.. but my cables are HD >_>

I dun get it!

Help? :/

You bought a brand new TV a few months ago and it doesn't support pal-60? Are you really sure?

As for the HD problem, theres a little switch on the bit that plugs into the 360, switch that to HD and you should be sorted with that.

Yeah I know, I got so very wierded out... this is the model TV I have (I think this is the one.. it looks the same... mine doesnt have an integrated tuner - I use a set top box - but apart from that it should be the same).

I assume you have HD Component...

Turn OFF your Console
Flick the The Switch to TV
Turn it Back ON
Goto Display Settings and Change it to PAL-60
Turn OFF your Console
Flick the Switch to HDTV
Then Turn you Console back on

Load the Game/Demo or Video and everything should be fine.

I had a smiliar issuse with the HD VGA Cable!

I rushed out to buy a lcd tv hoping it would be good for gaming but also for tv programes sky etc,i pluged it all up and it didn't have any HD conection so i tryed it with the scart lead it was a terrible picture to dark, so next i used the AV leads they were a little better this was about a year ago.

I actually thought that all lcd's were hd compatible so didn't even ask the people in the store i just seen a cheap lcd so bought it but i did have liittle clue as some of the tv's had the hd logo on the front and mine didn't but still didn't ask. mean while back at the house i phoned the store up and they said if i wanted the same tv but with HD i would have to pay another 400 quid i didn't have the money as then they were really expensive but now they are dead cheap.
Now i have a 17 inch TFT monitor it will do the job untill i get an HDMI tv next year.
