HDMI out is not working.by hal077 - January 14, 2010
Pros: Did not burn.
Cons: HDMI out has been nothing but a problem.
Review: Bought it to build a HTPC. Primarily selected for HDMI out capability. It has been nothing but a problem. Configuring it required reading a lot of newsgroups and playing with settings. After that the watching videos (recorded movies or broadcast from internet) is very problematic: the video feed skips and stater a lot to the point of being unusable at all (VGA is ok though).
