Nope I think that's it right now...I use an adaptor connector to change it over to HDMI to send to my LCD (of course I have to use analog audio cables as DVI has no audio).

Actually there is the Pace DC551.. non DVR with an HDMI port.  It's hard to get though.

Do you have any experience w/ the Pace DC551?  I'd be interested in trying it as my SA 3100HD STB has component video and analoge/coax digital audio out.

It worked fairly well; the guide was really fast compared to the other HD boxes and audio came through on the HDMI port while still providing DD5.1 to the coax and optical ports.  After TWC upgraded to the Aptiv software, the HDMI port started acting strange, losing audio and sometimes picture.  I had to restart the box to get it working again.  It might have been my TV's HDMI port.. it seemed to have problems with the Pioneer 3510HD box where it would restart everytime I turned the TV off.  My TV sometimes has issues with my upconverting DVD player also, so it could just be my TV.  TWC will soon be upgrading the software on their boxes to a different OS, so things might get better.

Thanks kevbeck122-

Do you know if the Pace DC551 can send HDMI through a repeater device?  I have an Onkyo TX-SR674 A/V receiver and am currently using it to switch all of my devices.  I run one HDMI cable from the receiver to the wall mounted display (sending only video, receiver takes care of the audio).  I've read some posts on the AVS forum about some STB's (comcast I think) not playing nice with repeaters.

Does TW have the Pace DC551?

Does TW have the Pace DC551?

They do, but it's incredibly hard to come by. Very few of them exist in the region, and even when the office you go to has them, I've seen where the counter people don't know what you're referring to when you ask for a particular model.

I just picked up a HD box non DVR with HDMI its by Pace. I don't have the exact model number yet. The local office by me had some sitting around.

I dont have the model number of the Pace box I have, but I have problems when switching between different HD channels. I hit channel up and the picture ends up being all crap colors etc, not even the channel. I hit guide, then exit the guide and the picture then shows fine.  I also notice that when I go to the next channel, the projector says searching for signal on HDMI for a second. any ideas?

i have the Pace DC551P and the HDMI port is very sketchy, when i change HD channels, the screen goes all green colors and 506 and 512 display in 720p but when i hook up component, it displays in 1080i. i still think there is a few bugs that def need to be ironed out.
