We have a Mitsubishi WD52725 RP DLP TV.  It has connectors for both
VGA and HDMI on the back. I originally had my HTPC hooked up via the
VGA connector, and using Powerstrip was outputting a perfect 720p
signal with very little overscan.

I figured I would try and use the HDMI input.  So I got a HDMI cable
and a DVI to HDMI plug as the video card outputs DVI.  Hooked
everything up and no picture.  Hooked up a settop DVD player using the
same HDMI port and it worked fine.  I looked into the manual and in
fine print on one of the pages it says that the HDMI "is not to be use
for connecting a PC".

First off, how can the TV know if I am hooking up a PC or DVD player
or whatever to it?  Secondly, what could it be doing to block the PC
signal?  The only thing I can guess is that the TV is looking for only
signals that are Macrovisiion/CSS protected over the HDMI and thus
will only display those.

Thoughts?
