Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has used an Ati graphics card with the DVI to
component adapter (shown here http://www.ati.com/products/hdtvadapter/)

In order to view HD output from a HTPC on a made for Australia HDTV?

According to the Ati faq the adapter is "not supported" outside of the
US. However the manual for my tv (Sony KVHR32) says that it can support
the following resolution modes?

Total Scanning Line, Effective Scanning Line, fV (Hz)
1125i, 1080i, 50 / 60
750p, 720p, 50 / 60
625p, 576p, 50
625i, 576i, 50
525p, 480p, 60
525i, 480i, 60

Does the fact that the TV seems to support by 50 and 60 horizontal
frequence (fV) rates mean that the HD dongle will work on this TV? It
seems the problem is that the card output is only designed for 60 Hz
(progressive) or 30 Hz (Interlaced) But it would seem that my TV CAN do
this (as well as the 'native' 50 Hz ratings)

Is there anything else to consider regards the compabibility of ATi
cards on non U.S. HD TVs?
