I just got a new ATI All in Wonder 800XT. It came with a coupon for a free HDTV breakout box, that plugs into the 800XT and then into a HDTV.... so something must be different then the regular TV OUT breakout box.

I have an X800 that came with an HDTV adapter but the adapter is Y,Pb,Pr & not DVI also your video card & drivers must support the resolutions that your TV can handle such as 1920x1080i or some variation of 16:9.

There is also different kinds of DVI. Make sure that what the TV uses is the same as your video card. I capture HDTV using a MyHD 120 <http://www.digitalconnection.com/Products/Video/mdp130.asp> [price have changed since] & it has it's own video out via Y,Pb,Pr but if I want to use DVI it requires a daughter card that's another $100 so I use the free Y,Pb,Pr then used the money that I would've spent on the daughter card for an AutoSwitcher <http://www.digitalconnection.com/products/video/1154a.asp>. They also carry some DVI-M <https://www.digitalconnection.com/store/Product_List.asp?CID=3&CAT=SWITCH-DVI> & HDMI AutoSwitchers <https://www.digitalconnection.com/store/Product_List.asp?CID=3&CAT=SWITCH-HDMI> if you're interested.
