I've run into this one before... the problem with your FX5200 may be that the TV expects HDCP to be supported by the video card. My Panasonic is that way... I just get black screens on a FX5200 while DVI out of the cablebox works fine.

If so, you need to go pick up a 6000 series or 7000 series NVIDIA card, which have HDCP support in the chipset.

I don't doubt that this may be the case, but it sure seems pointless to me. I fail to see how accepting non-HDCP input at a monitor or TV allows anyone to defeat copy protection. (Refusing to accept HDCP input, conversely, will keep you from viewing sources that supply HDCP content. And refusing to honor HDCP on a device that can record allows you to defeat copy protection.) Insisting that the source be HDCP-capables seems like poor or lazy design. For all I know, though, it may be common or universal in the new chipsets used by the TV manufacturers.

Grrrr,

Hit or miss due to weird mismatch between card and HDTV, or do you just
mean that some HDTVs don't support 1080i into DVI/HMDI but only into
component video?

weird mismatch. My DCT6200 outputs 1080i to my TV's HDMI port perfectly, but I can't for the life of me get my FX5200 with interlaced output support to work. Go figure, cheap HDTV...

I'm about to buy a Sony KDS-R60XBR1.  The spec sheet says it supports
1080i on component and on HDMI.  Is there any reason to think that an
nVIDIA 6200 PCI-E card over a DVI-to-HDMI cable won't produce excellent
results?  I'm talking about way too much money for anything short of
excellent.

With a Sony I'd think it would work, but do a search to see if anyone else has any experience with it.
