this sounds like a dodgy tv than anything to do with the xbox or hard disk.are you connecting the xbox via hdmi or scart/standard av lead?
maybe try changing 50 hertz to 60 hertz when you have standard AV lead connected too in xbox system settings.
try a different tv (more modern if yours is not) and connect via hdmi if you are not to eliminate all possibilies.

those small unpowered HDDs are not really any good for playing games from - my brother and I tried them, and we had issues when playing games, it would come up with dirty dsc errors....moved them onto a USB external drive with power, and they work fine

I think there isn't enough power supplied by the USB ports to maintain a steady data rate between the smaller self powered units and the console...the externally powered ones work perfect for me now though - just my experience that's all
