HDMI to DVI -- Advice Needed

Posted by ssimon@cfr.org on May 30, 2008 at 10:28:02:
Hi

I've got a Hitachi rear projection set (1080i) that I'm not ready to replace. However I would like to get a Blu-Ray player.

The Hitachi RPTV has a DVI input.

What I'd like to know is:

(a) whether I will get good results by integrating a Blu-Ray player using an HDMI-DVI cable; and

(b) how should I connect the new Blu Ray player such that the video signal goes directly to the TV via the HDMI-DVI cable, while the audio signal goes to my AV receiver?

I know these are dumb questions... but help would be appreciated.

All best
S
