A2 failing to upconvert SD using HDMI to DVI? Anyone know why?
I just got a Toshiba A2, mostly to upconvert my SD collection, and I can't get an upconvert through my HDMI to DVI cable. Does DVI constrict this? and you have to use a HDMI to HDMI to upconvert...which means I'm screwed as my HD set is DVI in only. The player registers 1080i on the display but when I turn my TV off and then on (the res automatically pops on when I do this), the TV gives me a message saying the content is being switched to 480p.....Any ideas? Oh, and why the heck does the picture look a lot better with component than my HDMI to DVI cables? Sorry, some HD newbie questions...

Yes, it's possible that the HDCP is not registering with the HDMI-DVI cable, although, all DVI is HDMI without the audio.
As for the PQ, have you calibrated the inputs?

What TV do you have; check your manual. Have you played an HD-DVD, and did it display at 1080i through the digital connection? I believe a number of early DVI sets were not HDCP compliant.
