Has anyone else noticed that when you plug the fiber obtic cable running from the back of your sound system into the port on the 360's HD cable it doesn't click in like it should but just sort of slips out if the system is moved at all? It seems like it should click in like it would in the back of a receiver. Is mine just broken? WHAT'S GOING ON!?

It doesn't "click/lock" into place.  It's not designed to really be moved that much once inserted.  What I would suggest - even though it will sound silly, is...

take a little piece of scotch tape and secure the FO cable to the componant cable using that.

I've got HDMI now, so I don't have to worry about it anymore, but my old premium did that, and I just used a zip tie, but didn't tighten the hell out of it, just snug and put the HD cable and the fiber optic cable together, so if you slide it, the fiber optic cable slides along with the AV cable it's connected to, and it never popped off again.Â
