Hello, I have a problem connecting my Nvidia Geforce7900 GTX to my HDTV. Nvidia has DVI output and 30″Philips HDTV component inputs. I did purchase DVI to component cable(as advised by Nvidia that this would work) and got nothing. I dont know if the problem is with cable or my TV which is 4 y old. I’m just frustrated because I cant watch HD movies that I have on my hard drive in HD format.
Any suggestion????

OK - I have the Key Digital working but only at 640 x 480… any experts in how to use SwicthresX? I can’t get it to work on anything higher… I seem to be limited to 50 or 60Hz according to the Key Digital literature.

Thanks - not sure how they connected the Key Digital piece I have since it does not connect directly without yet another adapter or cable… I’m going to still try with a new connector today and see if that works before trying that Hi-wire unit.

I also have the problem of connecting to my HDTV that has no DVI imput. I have been searching on several other board and found one that seems to have solved the problem (sort of). Here is the link to the discussion http://mrzippy.org.uk/macmediacenter/forum/viewthread.php?tid=58&page=1#pid1679. Finally I think the solution they came up with is the Hi-Wire by grandtec usa http://www.grandtec.com/hivision2.htm. I have not tried it myself yet was kindof hope you would have better luck.
