XBOX not connecting to LG flatscreen -no visuals only sound

After speaking with customer service at XBOX, Time Warner ( cable provider) and LG, I am very disappointed
The XBOX live was working fine on Saturday, Sunday morning we decided to hook it up to a new LG30 HD flatscreen TV I purchased for my son. The X ox has one large connector cable that runs from the consule to the TV, the plug in side of the consule is one plug but it seprates into 6 cables group into two sets to plug into the back of the flatscreen.
the groups are the following colors blue green, red and then yellow red and white.
thanks
kristine
IO first plugged in the blue green red and then for audio the red and white. However this only produced sound no video at all. We were plaing all plugs along hte same line which reads COmponent. When taking the red and white audio out an pluggin them in above onthe AV IN audio red and white lines, we no longer had sound

One thing we were able todtermine. We tried hooking up another device to teh flatscreen, we succeeded in hooking up an old VCR using hte yellow cable ( Video) and the red and white cables ( AV IN red and white) we had btoh sound and video.

There is a switch on the cable where it plugs into the XBOX that says HDTV/TV please make sure that it is set to HDTV when using component connectors.

    I would try a new cable. There seems to be a no video issue going around with some XBOXes. I have unfortunately experienced that first hand.

There should be a switch on the cable that says HDTV/TV if you are using component connections, make sure that the switch is set to HDTV.

How do I set netflix on my blueray to a different internet provider

Unless your situation is different from most of us, you only have one Internet Service Provider (ISP). That could be Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Verizon or another provider. Generally speaking, every home/apartment has only one provider feeding Internet to that location. If you have a separate detached home, you may have a choice of who will install Internet service in your house, but if you live in an apartment, you may have to use the provider that the rental company allows to provide service.

Either way, once you have Internet service, you must use that provider for Netflix until you switch to another provider. I personally just switched from Time Warner Cable to a local company offering gigabit fiber optic Internet service. I had the fiber optic cable installers leave the coaxial cables that Time Warner ran through my house, but those cables are no longer connected to Time Warner's system.

DCM425 is connected via earthlink dot net cable. Cable modem and connection is provided by time warner cable. Location of equipment is in Greensboro, North Carolina (336 area code). Have Linksys SPA2102...

Just you to your sister, and nobody else? All the time? Complain to Earthlink. They will probably give you an excuse, like "that happens from time to time". Real answer: cheap internet connections and software that drops out.

We have our own VoIP box that cost $50 (ObiTalk), pay $60 a year to PhonePower (one of many), and have had rock steady connections. We get free Canada calls, and a half hour of free overseas every month. If you pay more than $5 a month rethink your provider.

Ping is high at closest server. But low at servers much further

hello there i have built many wifi networks and install networks for server hosts.
I would try setting your port forward to the correct port that xbox live runs on.
also uncheck Qos (quality of service) this will throttle bandwidth, you want this off.

I have Time Warner cable. I just bought a new Sony LCD HD tv and the sound and the video are out of sync on some channels - HD and non HD I am using a HDMI cable. Any solutions that you know of?

Yes there is a simple solution. First, for some reason., Time Warner cable boxes have SERIOUS HDMI issues, including no pic, intermittent pic and sound and the one that you are having. The easy fix is to hook the TV to the cable box using the component connections instead of the HDMI. Normally I would suggest getting the cable box replaced, but I have seen customers exchange cable boxes 3 or 4 times and still have the problem or have a new problem. Use the component connections and be sure to let me know if this works. If it does, be sure to rate this solution. Thanks!

Programming remote control to Cable TV Box

What you need to do is contact the manufacturer of either your remote control otherwise the manufacturer of the Time Warner [aka: cable providers some times also have the info on file for their customers] they store the code information within their internal systems for their customers such as yourself. Otherwise there is normally a paper insert with the remote control or the Time Warner that would list the info for select manufacturers on there. Toshiba has pretty universal IR signals/codes so you should be okay when trying to program in the codes. The manufacturers can also assist you through the steps--believe me it can get frustrating some times!
