hdmi to dvi compatibility

I've had no problem going the other way, that is, DVI to HDMI. Is it DRM that prevents HDMI to DVI? Perhaps there is an adapter of some kind that will make this work out for you.

Talk to the gurus at avsforum.com for a work around.

Go with component video. Save a lot on cables and it is doubtful that you will see a difference.

All the high def sources must be HDCP compliant. If they are not you cant pass a digital video signal using a DVI or HDMI connection. You can only get 720/1080 by using an analog 3 cable component, 5 cable RGBHV or a RGB/RGBHV 15 pin D-SUB connection.

Thank you for your response. I am not familiar with accronym DRM. What does it refer to?

Digital Rights Management. I believe it gets used as an umbrella term for copy protection of digital media.

Just get an adapter cable dvi-hdmi.

Slightly diffrent question. My HD TV has one HDMI input. I have been using it from my Denon 2910 DVD. I just upgraded my cable box, so that I now have HDMI output form the box. Does it make more sense to run the HDMI ffrom the cable box? Will I notice a difference? Is anyone still having problems with the HDMI from the cable box (seem to remember this being metioned a few months ago)?
