You may need to attach a set top box to get digital.
A set top box is a receiver for digital tv. If ur tv is not
digital, you can get one of these to receive digital pics. Gives
great quality picture and will connect to most late model tvs.

There are a lot of standard definition TVs that have component input.
So, just because your TV has component input it does not make it HD. Check your TV's specs (in the manual or on the web). Your TV may not even support 480p. But even if your TV is SD (use 480i), your signal will be better than using composite or S-Video.

yes,,, the blurryniss might be because you dont have the hd turned on. the cable on the back of the 360 that plugs in to the tv has a switch on the side from standard to Hd.. if that doesnt work go onto your xbox dashboard ( front screen) go to the right to the consle settings. click display and make sure its on 1080i...
hope this work 4 u!
This pic shows u where the switch is

it is an old form of hd but not the true form of current hd technology. what you are seeing is something called composite video which is one step up from s-video but not truly high definition video. It is the best that is out there right now till an xbox with an hdmi cable comes out
