Cable box hdmi to dvi out using 23" ACD possible to bypass hdcp?

i got a 23" apple cinema, and when i use a hdmi adapter to plug my monitor into the back of my hd cable box, it says the display isn't hdcp compatible, i must disconnect to continue watching tv.
any way to get around this yet? no need to wait for hd-dvd for this to suck, the time is now.

For anyone interested or having a similar problem, a little bit of research has led me down this "logic path." The cable I bought explicitly states on the back of the packaging that it is designed for connecting a DVI output device to a HDMI input device. I on the other hand am attempting to connect a HDMI output (ATV) to an DVI input (Plasma TV). Could this be suggesting that not all HDMI/DVI cables are bidirectional?... just a thought.

  • HDMI through DVI-out?

    Hi!
    Just wondering if the msi 945gt is able to connect to my Panasonic AE900E through HDMI via the DVI contact on the mainboard? I've tried an Aopen board that wasn't successful with this, I suspect it had to with HDCP not being enabled on this board. How will the MSI work with this?
    Thanks for all replies!

    it shouldn't have compression, basically the video signal in HDMI is the same as DVI anyway... digital
     I stand corrected Here is an excerpt I found on the web.....
    Thus, data transmitted or stored with digital technology is expressed as a string of 0's and 1's. Each of these state digits is referred to as a bit (and a string of bits that a computer can address individually as a group is a byte).
    And good old analog is nothing but varying levels of voltage. Thanks for making me clear that up with myself.

  • HDMI cable being recognized as DVI

    I just picked up a 2nd Gen Apple TV and hooked it to my BenQ SD3742 TV using an HDMI connection. Whenever I switch to the HDMI1 input on the TV, the onscreen status changes to DVI1. As a result I get no sound. Since my TV doesn't have optical inputs, I'd rather just get the sound to come in through the HDMI cable. I assume this is a problem with the TV, where I have to somehow force it to recognize the input as HDMI and not DVI. I've gone through all the setting options on both the TV and Apple TV with no success.
    Has anyone else encountered anything like this?

    The TV has a setting to switch between Video / PC for the HDMI / DVI setting. But even when I switch to Video, the input still shows DVI with no sound. Since the TV works fine with the cable box HDMI on the same port and cable, and since I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem, I assume it's a conflict just between these two devices (each company will probably blame the other).
    I suppose I have no choice but to invest in an optical to RCA audio adapter for another $50 (half the price of the Apple TV!).

  • Must I disconnect my cable box to use AppleTV?

    I have just purchased an Apple TV. My television has an HDMI port that is currently used to connect my Moxi Box. May I use a duplex connector or must I dissconnect the Moxi Box?

    If your TV only has a single HDMI port then yes, you must unplug the cable box if you want to use the Apple TV. You may want to consider purchasing an HDMI switch. Such a device has multiple HDMI inputs and one output that connects to your TV and you can switch bewteen your cable box and the Apple TV. Of course you could also consider purchasing a new TV with more than one HDMI input.
    Common sense applies here.

    To get TV on your iMac off the cable box you would need to use an external TV tuner device such as the company ElGato is highly regarded for.  I have used one of their EyeTV products for many years with my iMac to watch television shows from my Comcasst cable TV box.  You can look at the models here:

  • Lenovo K1 1304 Tablet - Micro HDMI to DVI No Signal

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem here. I want to connect my Lenovo K1 tablet to a TV or monitor with DVI input using HDMI cable and HDMI to DVI Adapter. This should work perfectly fine since both hdmi and dvi are backwards compatible with each other and I've succesfully connected a different tablet like that before, yet I get no signal when trying to output a video from Lenovo K1 Tablet.
    Micro HDMI output port on my K1 works fine since I can output signal to HDMI input on my TV but not to DVI input using HDMI to DVD Adapter and like I said this should work just fine.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks.

    It doubt the adapter has to be HDCP "compliant", because it should just provide a mapping of pins/wires from HDMI to DVI, so any handshaking would occur between the endpoints (tablet and display device).  In case it helps, here's the pin mapping:
    http://pinouts.ru/VideoCables/hdmi_dvi_cable_pinout.shtml
    There are some different flavors of DVI, such as DVI-D versus DVI-I, with single or dual links - is it possible that there is a mismatch between adapter, cable, and device?

    Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.

    Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter.  TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices).   It does not show Mail or Safari menus.  System preferences'  display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution.  I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor. 
    Thank you

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

  • ATV3 - setup without HDMI.  One available is being used for cable box.

    What is the best way to hook up my new Apple TV3.  Just arrived and can't believe I have to wait and figure this out.
    I do not have a HDMI slot available.  Our TV has one HDMI slot that is being used for our cable. 
    What are the best options ot look at to get this all to work? 
    Potential options include
    1.  Splitting HDMI (if this works and is possible).  Best way to do this?
    2.  Switching my cable over to component (not sure I want to do this). 
    3.  What else?
    Many thanks

    Switching your cable box to component video (NOT "composite") is an outstanding idea. You will also have to connect audio cables between your STB and TV. As long as the analog hole remains available, you will not notice any loss of quality compared to the HDMI connection. Just configure your cable box to output 1080i or 720p all the time, whatever is appropriate for your TV. In fact, I have a Sony TV that emits loud pops when changing channels while the cable box is hooked up to it via HDMI, but it's nice and silent when using the analog connections.

    I want to hook up Apple TV but my One HDMI Jack on my TV is already connected to my HD cable box. My TV has jacks for s video, component, and PC in jacks.
    Can I use one of them to connect to Apple TV with some type of cable to my newer I-pad ?

  • Using the mini DVI - DVI cable with HDMI LCD screen?

    Hi,
    I bought the apple mini DVI - DVI connector to connect my imac to the back of my plasma. I have a 3 meter DVI cable to extend the mini DVI - DVI connector.
    It worked fine but the plasma is not so good for my purposes as i am using the set up to display images.
    I have just bought an LG LCD TV for a very good price.
    However the LG LCD does not have DVI socket! It has HDMI.
    Is there a cable available that is DVI (female) - HDMI?
    And will this work in theory?
    Any advise is much appreciated...
    Thanks

    Hi Network 23,
    Im not sure what you mean exactly?
    Which adapters and cables are you using between TV and Mac?
    My PowerBook and MacBook Pro have a DVI port, so I start there. I guess you're starting from the DVI port at the end of your adapter cable. At this point we both start from a standard DVI port.
    From there I attach the DVI-HDMI adapter I linked to earlier, and then between that and the HDMI port on the TV, I use a simple, inexpensive HDMI cable also bought at monoprice.com. While you could also use a DVI-HDMI cable, I chose to use a DVI-HDMI adapter so that I could use standard HDMI cables, since I anticipate buying more HDMI components in the future.

    Get an HDMI switcher. Plug in the ATV directly to the TV and then use the switcher on the other input.

    If connected directly to the TV, then audio is being sent to the TV speakers, not the receiver.

  • HT4366 We do not have a port to the TV. Is there a way to pug it into the cable box? The cable box has a Hdmi port

    We just purchased the Apple TV 2 and our TV doesn't have Hdmi port, but out cable box does. Can we hook it up to the cable box?
    Is so, how we keep trying and nothing is happening 

    You can't connect the Apple TV to the cable box either using HDMI or something else. The Apple TV is for use with HDMI only, although some users have found workarounds which may or may not work for you.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)
