Problems with 480p

I have a widescreen SDTV which will display 480p.

When I select 480p in the xbox setup, then load a game, the output on the TV shifts to the left ?! ie, not centered.

Further more, it then shows a reflective image about 1" down the left hand side. As if the 1" section that is now off the screen has been reflected back into view.

So when you play Halo, and you look at you ammo count at the top left, half the text you can't see because it is off the screen, yet you can see the start of the text sort of reflected back.

Am I making sense ?

I just hope that someone else has the same problem and will recognize what I am talking about.

I have tried different hdtv packs and cables.

PS: 480i works perfectly.

The next step is change TVs to see if it is the TV rather than the xbox.

what is 480p and like 1080p.. I keep hearing this but what isit? :)

Positive that your tv supports 480p? If it is a SDTV then no it doesn't, but if it is an EDTV then it would. Could just be getting those terms mixed up.

I've heard of this happening to other people before.

Doublecheck that your component cables are plugged in correctly and securely.

It is a good idea to try it out on another TV to see if it is your Xbox or HD A/V pack. That way you can start to narrow down the variables. Let us know what you find out.
