360 DVD question...
 

Okay, my TV has ports for HD connectors (Composite). It's not an HDTV, but it reads it just fine (just no wide screen). Anyway, it looks great during games when I use them, but when I play a DVD I get a lot of graininess. Not unwatchable grain, but noticeable. Does anyone know if this is the 360's DVD reader or the cables themselves, because I read that it's the cables.

The only reason I ask is that I may consider moving back to the RCA port so I can re-hook up my Composite DVD player. I'd use S-Video but my TiVo is using the only S-Video-enabled port.

No clue. If you want to get around it, get a good component selector. You can switch between the two sources on one S-Video cable.

Do you have any way of testing it on an S-Video input, to see if it is the cables? Or even normal video inputs?

I haven't tried the RCA-side for DVDs yet. I'll have to try that.

I watch DVDs all the time on it, but I haven't noticed it.

I used RCA cables on an old TV, no problems.

And now I'm using component cables on an HDTV and it still looks fine, so yeah, check your cables I guess.. :o

The 360 is a pretty darn good DVD player if I do say so myself, so I don't think it would be causing a problem like that..

I want the HD-DVD player :(.
