Hello all, glad to have found such a useful site for HD in Columbus. I just ordered TWC's digital cable service about 3 weeks ago and initially asked for their HD-DVR (which they claim to be out of at the moment), but unfortunately for now I am stuck with this Pioneer Voyager box. I'd like to connect it to my Magnavox PDP using the DVI port, but all I get is a message saying that my display device does not support HDCP. I know this not to be true, since the manual for the PDP clearly says that it supports HDCP on the DVI port. Also, I have searched other forums, such as AVS and there are similar posts about TWC and DVI. Has anyone else run across this issue here in Columbus, and if so has TWCol been able to get it resolved? Thanks.

Adam

Speaking of HDCP it would appear that TW turned HDCP on this past week. A friend of mine has a few LCD panels that only support DVI (they don't have HDCP) and they now are paper weights as far as using them for HD cable from TW. He also gets the "display device does not support HDCP message". But you say your TV does support HDCP which is weird. We use the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD boxes.
