HDMI cable won't work for xbox 360?

I am suddenly having a problem with my hdmi cable for my game consoles and I am not sure why. The cable worked fine for the weeks I have been using it and now I plug in the cable and the input on my television says that there is nothing connected. The hdmi cable works when I plug it into my cable box, but when I change it to my xbox or ps3 my television tells me nothing is connected. I have tried two cables (both the same) and both work with my cable box but neither work with the game consoles.

I thought that it may be a wrong type of hdmi cable or something along those lines, but both worked fine for weeks up until now, and neither show any noticeable damage.

Any proposed solutions to this issue are appreciated.

Thanks

Update:

I hadn't really disconnected the cables until now because they worked up until now, I hadn't touched the cable or xbox in about a week then went to play and it didn't work.
