Xbox HD Cable

["Mark Golledge" <markgolledge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Just bought a 32 inch Samsung TV (LE32R87BD -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LE32R87BD-Widescreen-Ready-LCD/dp/B000O14EWA)
and want to hook it up to my original xbox (for xbmc) so as to get HD.

I believe there are two types of lead:

1. Original HDTV AV pack with black box:

2. Newer Version with no black box (

)


I am getting slightly confused with this all.

I think the original pack is in good supply (there seem to be quite a few
on
Ebay) but the newer version less so.

I don't yet have the ability to make use of the optical options for sound
but I have been passing the sound through to my hi-fi system for my current
TV and will look to do so with the LCD TV. The Hi-Fi doesn't have an
optical
option but I might upgrade down the line so want to (if possible) buy a
cable which allows for this option in the future.

Can anyone please advise which cable, and if the latter, does anyone know
where to source one?

Thanks for your help.


Mark
