Can I download on Xbox 360 after disconnecting the HDMI cable?

I want to know if my download will continue even if I disconnect my HDMI cable from my Xbox 360. I have a download going on but I need the display for something else.


Solution 1:

The HDMI cable for video game consoles only provides audio and video it is okay to unplug the HDMI cable, however I would never recommend pulling out any electronic cables while the console is on. So yes you can disconnect the HDMI cable and continue your download.

I would recommend instead buying an HDMI switch so you can have multiple HDMI devices attached to your display device.
