My cable box is a DVI out so it would not work with the Oppo. I have not tried a DVI-DVI cable with an HDMI adapter. I have a nagging feeling it is the cable (despite being Belkins top of the line HDMI-DVI cable).

Not sure what firmware I have on my Oppo...I am assuming MVer: 05.00.01.07 Batch: 0-1227B since I purchased it in May. Just checked...I have the latest version of the firmware.
