is this the reason?
"Failing to get the update (or the maps on Tuesday) when using an Xbox 360, a VGA connection, and a PAL television
The Xbox downloader and update programs needed to get AU5 and the new maps (when they arrive on Tuesday) don’t properly support PAL-60 TV on the Xbox 360. This is simply because the backward compatible part of the dashboard was never updated for that resolution and it means you can’t use VGA to run these programs. However, fret not - to work around this, switch over to the composite (yellow) cable that shipped with your Xbox 360, get the update and the maps, and then you can switch back to VGA and play happily like nothing ever happened. Of course, if you’re using a VGA monitor, it does mean you’ll have to connect to a regular TV to complete that process."
