Re: component vs. dvi cable connections

First off I'd question exactly how you have it setup. From your post, you are using the set top box as the tuner, then outputing component to the TV, and DVI to the recorder. If this is the case, both the TV and the recorder aren't tuning anything, they would just get whatever channel the set top box is on via a video input. In that situation, if the recorder isn't getting a signal when the set top is tuned to the HD channels, the issue is most likely at the recorder. You could try hooking it up via component, which would get around HDCP issues, but it's a Sony....so you never know what sort of crazy crap is going on.

If you are tuning the station with the recorder:
I would check if you get ANY HD channels on the recorder, or if the issue is isolated to this one channel.

And it could be an HDCP issue, being that it's a Sony device. (my hatred of them when it comes to media rights has no bounds)
