There are some issues with HDMI hand shaking on many boards but most of the time is boils down to the TV/receiver and your HTPC. I found that running my HDMI via a remote based HDMI switch or an HDMI receiver has always worked for me and others. You might try a switch as a way to at least trouble shoot.

I presume you would consider an AV receiver (like an Onkyo) to be a switch? That's how mine is hooked up and I've never had snow like Joe_Miner has. Maybe I was lucky and dodged a bullet.

Given he mentions switch and receiver in the same sentence I wouldn't think so. A switch just changes the output (ie one in can be switched to one of say four different outputs; or vice versa).

Sorry for not being clearer. I meant it's the same as a switch in that my Onkyo AV receiver can switch 3 HDMI inputs to a single output. I realize a receiver does a lot more than a switch; I meant to indicate that I was asking about only the switching part. Thanks for helping me clarify it.

Yep, sure would. That is how I have both of mine hooked up.
