I've been using a DVI->HDMI connector for my Myth box for a few months
now with no problems.  I say no problems--due to the nvidia driver bug
it won't actually push 1080i, but I've been running in 720x480 without
any issues.  It's even survived my repeated attempts to get 1080i
working.  Does your TV return EDID information to X?  If so, sticking
closely to those scan rates and resolutions should keep you pretty safe.
