HDMI resets my Xbox 360?

Whenever I have my Xbox on and I switch inputs from my cable TV to my Xbox while it's on, the console restarts itself. Both use HDMI.

This is the cable that I use for my Xbox 360: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

    You could try looking for something called AnyNet+ under either the Xbox or your TV's settings and disabling it. For all my devices AnyNet+ just turns the TV on when I turn the device on (or vice versa), but I don't own an Xbox so I don't know if those would behave weirdly because of AnyNet.

    Edit: I think AnyNet is also called HDMI-CEC.

    From what I know when you use HDMI it runs and this one source input that's why your console won't start up until you turn on the TV to HDMI.

    When it loses the HDCP link it can do weird things.
