In the menu in change display and audio settings, set tv display and v+box hi def output to suit your tv, you have to press text on remote to store it, you may have to find the right av channel on your tv, it should auto detect hdmi when you turn off and on again.

I have done all that tryed all output setting mines is 1080p. When it changes over to Hd after 30 secs it chages back to scart. I chage the tv over to hd but does not pck it up. I have my ps3 hooked up to the tv works great

In display and audio settings turn off auto scart detect, also try booting up holding play/pause and stop button, then press fast fwd button a few times till you get hd on display, then press reset button, see if that works.
