[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 646615, member: 76888"] Yes, there are definitely problems with receivers and refresh rate changes/changing resolutions. EDITED: Also the HTPC gets the EDID data from the receiver rather than the monitor. The EDID data tells the HTPC what resolutions and refresh rates are supported by the display. The EDID data also tells the PC whether the display is on/off. Receivers are not designed to be connected to an HTPC, so they sometimes don't post the EDID data correctly. This means that you might have to reboot the htpc after you turn off the display/receiver. The solution(s) are; Hardware - Gefen DVI/HDMI Detective - "DVI/HDMI Doctor" Software - HDMIon.exe Not sure if Gefen can help with refresh rate issues as I havn't tested. Also I'm not sure what the situation is with using both ports on the video card, and running HDMI port -> Receiver and DVI port -> TV. [/QUOTE]
