I have a Panasonic 50 inch plasma 50PHD6 that I had hooked up via HDMI with TiVo H10-250 HD DVR. It worked great. That receiver started failing, so I upgraded to new DirecTV HR 20 HD DVR. I am using an HDMI to DVI cable, as I only have DVI on plasma. l CANNOT get a picture with the HR 20. When I hook it up, it just continues to cycle through the resolution lights on HR 20 and never finds a signal. I unhooked my DVD and hooked up HR 20 via those component connections and it works fine.

Does anyone know why HDMI to DVI will not work?

If component connection is my only option for the TV, then I need a new DVD player that will work via my current HDMI to DVI connection. I need one that has SACD and DVD Audio playback as well. Any suggestions on a good unit to buy for under $300?

Check sister site dbstalk for information on the HR20, they have a large Q&A forum dedicated to it.
