Can someone please direct me to some device to convert HDMI w/ HDCP to component video? I have an older HDTV television with the R/G/B RCA plugs and a new DVD player with only HDMI output. Can someone help me? Thanks.

Ain't gonna happen...
I can't believe that your DVD player doesn't have component video outputs.

Sorry, there isn't one; the terms of the HDMI license really don't allow such a thing (because things like the ICT and what not come into play, secure data path and blah blah blah).

What model DVD player do you have?

I just bought a Pioneer 1150Hd and the manual talks about PIP and Twin Screen yet does not do a good job of explaining how to set it up.

I have an HD cable box.

Question:
1. Do I need to put a splitter before the cable box and then go in from the splitter to ANT 1 on the back of the TV?

2. Or can I come out of the cable box with two connectors-such as Component Video to an Input 1 port and a HDMI in to a Input 4 port.

It sounds like I need two seperate sources for the PIP to work.

Does anyone know the answer to this.

You will need the splitter before the cable box. If you come out of the cable box with two connectors you will have the same signal on both of the twin screens. Since you are using the tuner in the TV for ANT 1 you will not be able to get any encrypted channels on that input. Depending on your cable provider that may or may not be a problem.

Hey, I was asking about HDMI to Component video here, and you came along and derailed my thread. Make up your own topic to ask a question, mmmmk? Thanks.

PS I found my answer, there IS a solution, many are sold on eBay. A friend from work showed me his, working very well on his older HDTV. I bought the same model and it has already shipped. The MPAA and RIAA can kiss my ass!
