You may want to try a DVI-to-HDMI adapter if you do not get satisfactory 
results with your DVI input.  I don't have your model TV, but I do have 
a Mitsubishi LCD panel, and says the same thing in my manual as in yours 
- don't connect a computer to the HDMI input.  I tried it anyway, for a 
while, and it worked just fine - TV did not blow up, etc.  It did 
overscan the image a bit, so the edges of the MythTV menus were off the 
screen on all 4 sides, but it was certainly usable.  This may fill the 
screen in your case, with your particular TV.

I switched it back to DVI after a few days, though, as the HDMI input 
did not produce improved interlaced output as I was hoping.
