Most HDTV televisions have the ability to have inputs from other devices like DVRs, DVD players/recorders, Cable boxes, etc. If all your's are being used you might have to unplug one of them. If the problem is that you input plugs on the HDTV just don't match the ones you have for the Xbox 360 optional cables are available that you can purchase to match your HDTV input with the Xbox 360 output. The most common of these is a HDMI cable that will be able to connect with Newer HDTVs and the Xbox 360.
