I still havent had a chance to call stve at outlaw...but... I think the problem is with the long cable. I threw in Citizen Kane and I saw sparkles...very hard to notice but noticeable nonetheless. This is with the dvi straight from htpc to the projector. So I think the 990 adds just a bit more resistance and causes the massive sparkling.
So, Does anybody have any suggestions on inline DVI signal boosters? I think I will try this to see if it fixes the problem.
