DVI to DVI VS. DVI to HDMI
by HDTV Addict - 8/1/06 10:27 AMWhat is better to use: a DVI to DVI cable or DVI to HDMI cable (DVI out on cable box, HDMI in on the TV)? Thanks.

DVI to DVI VS. DVI to HDMI
by jcrobso - 8/1/06 11:15 AM In reply to: DVI to DVI VS. DVI to HDMI by HDTV AddictYou question is a little confusing. Your cable box has a DVI output? Your TV has HDMI input? If this is correct then you use a DVI to HDMI cable. John

DVI to HDMI

Thanks.

Cable
by Dan Filice - 11/26/07 4:40 PM In reply to: DVI to HDMI by CanoeHullI believe that when you connect a DVI to HDMI or HDMI to DVI, you will not be getting the audio signal that comes as part of HDMI. DVI is video only (traditionally meant for computer connections) and you will need to run separate audio connections.
