At wits end trying to get DVI out to TV. (1 Viewer)

What is the native resolution of the TV?

Did you try to use the DVI to HDMI connection with HD resolutions (720 or 1080)?

The simple fact is the pc doesn't recognize the tv as a valid monitor..it's turning the dvi ports off even before I get into windows to set a resolution. That being said the jvc tv is a 720p tv and converts all input signals to that resolution (which theoretically means it would accept any resolution and do a conversion if it was gonna work).

My thought was that if I plugged the pc into a receiver with hdmi in it would recognize the receiver and send the signal...the receiver would then pass the signal to the tv but I'd prefer a cheaper solution.

Re. component output - I'm pretty sure the component output on current ATi cards is on the same connector as the composite/s-video output - you just need the correct cable (but check first that your card does support component output).

It will look better than s-video, and it supports 720p output.
