My setup: X1 connected to a High defination box provided by Time Warner.

1. When using the Vesa componet adapter the X1 never finds the Hi Def box, it searches and searches but nothing. So I can only use S-video for now. Vesa works great with dvd player.


2. I also see lines going up the screen every 5 seconds, I cannot find the source of this lines going up the screen. I don't not get these lines when using my dvd player.


Somebody help

1) Is the box setup to output through the component? Something higher than 480i? Try setting it to 1080i.

2) Sounds like a ground loop problem. Google and you should find the answer!

I concur, ensure the output on the HDTV box is set to either 720p or 1080i....

Did you already have the cable box hooked up to another HD display? And was it working properly?


When I got my X1 and had TW hook up an HD box to it, it took the guy a long time to get good signal. I think he tried two boxes, and he had to keep Nexteling somebody to send a signal or something. It worked for a few days, then it started acting up. A tech came out and installed some sort of booster inside next to the box, and it works great now. FWIW, my setup: HD box > component cable out to VESA adapter > to computer in on X1. DVD player set to interlaced > component out to component to s-video adapter > to component/s-video in on X1.


Also, when I got digital cable a couple of years ago, I had scrolling lines. A tech came out and removed a white cylindrical booster from the line outside, and the lines went away.

I had the same problem. I have the DVR hi-def box from Time Warner. I called time warner and they had me do a reboot of the box. Don't remember exactly what the button push was to make it boot, but once it re-booted, it started sending a signal thru the component outputs and the X1 found it. It's been working perfectly ever since.
