It's finally all working. As per my previous update, i was having HDCP issues. The Video card i had ordered, the Visiontek ATI HD 2400 Pro O/C had an on-board HDMI port and lists HDCP compliance on the box, but .... it's all lies. The CyberLink BluRay Advisor tool failed the HDCP test over the HDMI port as well as over the DVI-I port with an HDMI converter. It's possible i guess that maybe if my TV had a DVI-I port on it and i went DVI to DVI that it would pass, but DVI doesn't carry audio so that's not the solution I want anyway.
