My TV has been playing up recently, only on input through the VGA port and the only thing I use through that port is my 360. Getting patches of colour appearing in games, but its fine if I run it through my TFT so pointing the finger at the TV.

Guys came out to try to fix it today, and as Im at work have to explain the situation over the phone. He came back and said Ive changed your settings from 1080 to 620. Erm? What? Bearing in mind this is not a HD TV, I checked if he meant the resolution. Yes, well thats no good its been that resolution for the past 2 years and the fault has just developed.

So they need to take away the TV to test, and worst of all the 360 to test with it! So no more GTA IV for me until it returns, at least I made them take the disc out of the tray!

:( <- Me
 
I know they don't, but Id rather they took the bloody thing and actually fixed the TV tan send it back unfixed as they can't find a problem.
 
If it's in warranty then it's up to them to supply something to test it with, and if it wasn't fixed, replace your TV set. I'd be going mental.

Id rather let them take it for a short while than put up with months of attempted repairs and the fault remains, as I know from experience how these warranty jobs can drag out.
 
Did you get them to sign something saying they've got your xbox?!?! If not, this could end badly.....
 
That will be the longest TV repair in the History of the Universe :p
"Yes mate we've nearly cracked it but we want to make it perfect before we bring it back, We'll ring Ya" :p:p:p

Yeah dont worry ;)

Ive made sure the company are aware of me being uneasy about them taking it, and they have increased the priority on the job to urgent. I'll also be speaking to Domestic & General about the matter and making sure they apply whatever pressure they can too.

I'm far from happy about it, but Id rather be without the 360 for a week or so than be chasing repairs of a TV for months while they try to diagnose the problem.

Looks like its Mario Kart and Wii Fit for the near future :p

They shouldn't drag out, it should be fixed or replaced in a reasonable amount of time, after 2 weeks is what I give companies then its on to trading standards.

This is the exact same thing that happened to my 360 before it stopped outputting any signal whatsoever, I too thought the TV was at fault but it was the 360's GPU dying it's a fairly common fault after RROD.

Strange though that it doesn't occur on your TFT.

It also doesnt occur through any other type of input but VGA.
