Well as the title explains, I've been having troubles downloading game demos on Xbox Live. The problem has seem to only have started after the big dashboard update a while ago as I have Moto GP 06 and Test Drive demos which I downloaded before then. Whenever I've tried to download a new demo (eg Hitman BM and also recently Table Tennis) I try to load it up and it returns an error which says my TV must be in PAL-60 mode and tells me to change it in settings...I go to settings and it's already in PAL-60 mode (as it should be)!

Anyone have any advice? :|
 
I've not heard of that problem. I too have my settings to PAL 60 and have downloaded those demo's - Table Tennis was definately after the dashboard update. My only suggestio would be to change settings from Pal 60, got to the demos then go back and change back to PAL 60. Otherwise contact Microsoft for support as it could be the update that's mucked things up. Some people have reported problems after downloading the update.
 
Viper: Do you play on a High-Definiton TV or a standard one?

Edit: He has. I've just told him on MSN what I done to get it to work - switch to Standard Def on the cable and select 60 from there, then switch back to HD again. It worked perfectly for me.
 
Thanks for the help guys, I'll try James' solution tomorrow and report back...yeah it's quite a strange problem.
