I have a computer which has a HDMI.. Could I the current HDMI to dvi to test whether that will work? I imagine were trying to see whether the dvi port is working fully? The only desktop I have is a mac pro which has a dvi socket but I use a dvi to vga adapter on that and don't have a dvi to dvi cable..

Definitely worth giving that a try!

Also I note from some of you earlier posts/threads that it took a while to get the ATV working successfully in the first place.  I would try the computer (using hdmi to dvi) first, and then re-visit all your TV menu settings.

Thats correct - that's what's not sitting right... it was working perfectly.. Then all of a sudden stopped completely... I'm hoping that the product you advised works.. Issue is have now is I'm extremely inpatient.. So I can get what you suggested tomorrow.. But I need a component to component which I can't arghhhhhhh.. Any ideas? I live in the UK?

There are some  faster delivery leads on amazon, such as: 

^ Sorry they were composite (rather than component) leads, but would probably work if you are consistent with colours. 

Guy would this work

It comes with the cable - so I don't think I would need that?

^ Yes, it should work!

What are your thoughts? Should it be a simple plug and play?

Yes it should be.  As long as your TV settings are correct (for the component input), and you still may have to use the MENU/VOLUME method to get the ATV to cycle through the various output resolutions until you discover one that works.

Please pray for me otherwise I'll probably throw the tv out of the window.. Might need a couple of you to help me!
