Title: Where Do I Find The 720p Etc In Ms Dash?
Post by: NYZO on March 31, 2007, 04:33:00 AM
i too have a PAL xbox but do not have HDTV so have never had to do this but I think(don't quote me on this) :

MS have made it so you can only get HDTV on an NTSC XBOX. Try switching your XBOX to ntsc video mode - use an app like "enigmah videomode switcher" which is availible from the usual places to switch into NTSC. Reboot to MSDASH and as far as I know you should now be able to enable HD modes.

hope this helped. let me know if this works because I should be getting HDTV soon.

You need to use a HD lead before you can enable the HD options  jester.gif

You need to use a HD compatible cable.  Otherwise you won't ever see those options.

Oh and you need to switch the box to output NTSC instead.
