V+ Component out Not working :(

I've just had V+ installed and was hoping to use the component output, my TV has component input (Phillips 30PF9975) but when ever I try to use this option I get the error "Picture Format not available", this is using 720 or 720 wide which the TV is supposed to support. Any ideas?

According to this review it's definately supposed to take 1080i - have you tried that?

Ah, thats it Sorted!!!!

Thanks very much ShadowTD,I thought the most the TV could handle was 720, so I never thought to try the 1080 settings, but 1080 works like a charm!!!!

I believe your set is fairly early in terms of HD (lacking as it does a HDMI socket). Many early american sets were only able to take 1080i - it's all down to refresh rates and internal processing and somesuch other gubbins! Important thing is you got it working!

Yes, unfortunately I failed to do my research properly and purchased this TV just months before HD became a mainstream selling point, but never mind its a good excuse to buy a new 40" TV.

Thanks again.
