My component lead is broken. Is it just a standard HDMI to HDMI lead that runs from xbox to TV? if so what do I do with my optical cable?

Any recommendations on cables?

cheers! :-)
 
Yep, just a bogo standard HDMI cable. Buy the cheapest one you can find, provided it doesn't need to run a silly distance.
 
If you want to keep using optical, you either need to buy the (over) expensive official HDMI lead that has an optical connector built in, or hack the component lead (if the audio on it still works) so you can fit both a cheapo HDMI and component lead into the console.

Plenty of guides if you Google.

Just take off the plastic from around the connector, this will give you enough clearance to use both connectors. Looks messy but works fine.
