Is the DVI-I out from an ATI 9800 pro compatible with the DVI-HDVT input on
my rear projection TV??

In principle, yes. But you can only run solutions supported by the TV.
You probably won't be able to run 1024x768 for example.

Are you sure? Are you saying that the ATI's output is HDCP enabled? Or are
you just guessing?

Are you saying that your TV won't accept signals from a non-copy-protected
source? Then you were a damned fool to buy it. Don't encourage those
people.

My non-HDTV accepted 800*600 signal from my NVIDIA card, there was no point
of course because you could see no difference.
Surely if the TV is HD capable then it will display a better picture with a
higher resolution from the video card. Failing that maybe you should check
out the specs of the 9800 pro at the ATI website, or maybe it tells you in
the manual that came with the card..

has anyone tried this with any TV??

Can't find anything in the manual, think I would need the white pages for
both TV and video card, or even a pin out for DVI-I and DVI-HDTV and this
new thing HDCP don't know what that is yet.

Works fine with my projector, but it predates the copy protection crap.

OK, I didn't know of this before but this what I found out:
DVI-HDCP is a copy-protected variant of DVI-I. It is incompatible to
normal DVI-I.
The Radeon 9800 Pro claims to be HDCP ready:

Whatever that means in marketroid-speech. Maybe you need a special
adapter or something similar.
So we'd need to know which TV you have and try to find out if it uses
HDCP or not. No idea about 'HDCP ready', though.

In any case, HDCP _receivers_ are _supposed_ to be able to work with
non-HDCP sources but not the other way around.

Thanks I worked up the nerve and just tried it after doing some research,
found the pin out of the cables but not the 9800 or TV, anyway it worked, to
very limited success and xp even recognised that it was a HITACHI 46f500,
but there was all sorts of problems that may or may not go away with lots of
fiddling, S-video looks better? and was way easier to configure to work
properly, leave it for when I have 10 free hours to play around with it and
I'm real bored.

If S-video looks better something is misconfigured somewhere.
You may need to obtain a program called "powerstrip" to fine-tune the video
settings to match your set.
