HDQ to Panny PWD6 DVI

I've just got hold of a DVI board for my panny plasma (PWD6) and it all works fine when connected directly to my Sony BDP but I can't get it to work with my HDQ (or Virgin V+ connected direct).

Any ideas please?

It only supports 576P@50...and even then it needs some pretty weird timings...I run mine at 852x480@60 just now.

Cheers Gordon,

Odd that it works with the Sony BDP though.

Essentially I want to be able to set the V+ box to HDMI (720 or 1080) and be able to watch the HD channels on both my PJ and TV without having to mess about with the settings.

Will leave it til the next calibration session I think...

Yes, definitely not definately! The number of times as a mod I have my eyes stabbed out by that makes me come over all hot and bothered.
