    IIRC the only difference between DVI and HDMI is that the audio is incorporated into the HDMI cable. Don't you have to plug an audio source in the DVI-HDMI cable as well as the DVI video source (or vice-versa)?

    HDMI has a slightly different voltage than DVI , but SHOULD be compatible .. but ive seen with bell and rogers boxes that using a converter will cause certain flat panels and projectors to not lock up (handshake) - thus no picture ....

    mostly with certain epsons, hitachi and sharp tvs or projectors ..
