Hi all

Thanks

Erm dont think its possible. Only through a Media Centre with a built in tuner. Also what cable box you trying to connect?

You could try a scart to component video converter/adapter, they have them on e bay.

Yeah but how do you get the EPG. Thats a bit confusing?
Just to set it straight, your trying to connect ur cable box to the 360 so that you can watch tv through the XBOX and use the EPG guide through the 360?

Ive only come across it using an Orginal XBOX and Xbox Media Centre installed on a Softmodded xbox. And then using a Dreambox or Dbox2 through the network.
