i was not willing to blame the cable as the same cable works for my ps3. I will bring my pi and cable to my parents house to try my cable on my dads tv(since i know the pi works on that one) and see if it is the cable anyways...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pepedog', 'S')ounds like its your tv.

lol he would notice for sure his is like 52" mine is only 26"

How could it be the tv tho if it outputs HDMI it should work in anything HDMI right...??

could it be a resolution issue...the tv has a resolution of WXGA (1366 x 768) but it does support a max input of 1080i(which is what the ps3 outputs at and displays fine.)

If you look at the /boot/config.txt file, Uncomment one at a time, sensible hdmi_mode settings, reboot to take effect.
One must work.
Oops, I thought they were in there.
