I just got a brand new 37" LCD HD TV and I plugged my 360 into it using my HDMI cable. But when I turn it on and go to the HDMI channel it says "receiving signal" and then says "signal not found". Anyone know what's wrong? I get picture through the component cables but not the HDMI.

I'm not sure about your set, but on mine it requires a different source channel. Like, when you probably switch over to either A/V or Component channels to display your games, perhaps your TV has an HDMI output channel that you need to switch to? My TV has them for TV/Air, AV, component, HDMI, VGA. Once I got HDMI for PS3, I couldn't use the component channel anymore and had to switch over to HDMI. Hope this helps.

That's what I was talking about. I have different channels for my cables. I have an AV channel, 2 Component Channels for both sets of component ports, and 2 HDMI channels for each HDMI port in the back of the TV. When I plug my HDMI cable into the TV, turn on my 360, and then go to the HDMI channel it says "receiving signal" then says "signal not found".

Like I said man, hdmi needs to reseted. You need to unplug everything and then put it in again.

The problem you have is called HDMI handshake. Hdmi is encypted sometimes get frozen.

Sounds like boxcutter make know what he's talking about on this one, or at least have a better idea of what's wrong.
