Can an HD STB (HDMI) be connected to an LCD Monitor (DVI)?

Hi ValueBuyer,

Yesterday I tried, what you said.
I connected my STB with AV cable to TV and set different resolution (1080i 50Hz, 1080i 60Hz, 720 50Hz, 570 50Hz, 570 60Hz and 480 50Hz). but still not able to see anything on LCD Monitor In 480 I can see the log of Videocon d2h, while my STB is booting but after that I am unable to see anything. one more thing, once my smart card was not inserted properly, at that time I was able to see the smart card error message.

This suggests HDCP issue like we discuss. Try on another regular HDTV and it works, seems your monitor is not supporting it. Try looking for EDID (firmware) upgrade for your monitor or contact the monitor manufacturer if they claim that the monitor is HDCP compliant.
