DVI to HDMI Connection Issue

[duncanite]

I connected my Samsung HD-841 to my 42" Sony LCD RPTV via a DVI-HDMI cable I bought from Pacific Cable. The problem is is that I'm getting "snow" on the screen using this connection, didn't have a problem before with component cables. Any guesses what the problem is? I'm guessing a bad cable or poor sheilding (is this applicable on a pure digial cable? ) but I don't have a good way to test it as I dont have any other DVI sources. Anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks for the help in advance. :T

Actually, that sounds like HDCP problems. Is your TV HDCP compliant on HDMI?

I'm not sure, how do I check if it's HDCP compliant? The model is KDF-42WE655 and I couldn't find any information on the Sony website. Is there any way to get around this problem if it isn't HDCP compliant?

I have my HD841 connected to my Hitachi RPTV by a DVI-DVI cable from Pacific. No problemo with their cables.
