One switch is right on top of the plug where it plugs into the xbox and the other is in line a few inches down.

Same problem on every console. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41280-xbox-360-hi-definition/#findComment-615797 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on your tv, 720p and 1080i should be available through the component cables. Not sure if 1080p will work, but it'll let you know if it doesn't!
