[mythtv-users] HDMI

[John Goerzen]

Hi,

I just bought a Philips HDTV that has a HDMI input.  After some
googling, I discovered that HDMI is very similar to DVI.  However,
things are inconclusive as to whether I'd be able to drive my HDTV using
the DVI output on my MythTV unit and a DVI-to-HDMI cable.  Is it really
possible to drive a HDTV with HDMI using a PC's DVI output?  If so, do I
have to choose certain particular cards and/or resolutions?  Will the
HDTV accept an unencrypted signal?

I found only one thread about it:

  States that a Geforce4 DVI output would not work but a Powerbook
  DVI output did.  Doesn't give specific resolutions that work for CRT
  HDTVs.

Any input appreciated.
