DVI -> HDMI cable question

[Doggen]

You can buy a "DVI -> HDMI" cable to attach your computer with your HDMI input on your TV. = Computer DVI out -> TV HDMI in.

So my question is:
Is it possible to use this cable the other way around?
like this: Popcorn HDMI out -> LCD Flatcsreen DVI in.

Attention! Question regarding SAME cable primarilly.
Secondary, give me examples on alternate solutions.

Yup should work.

It definitely does work.

When I received my PCH I needed to transfer a load of files from my Windows PC to the PCH so I plugged it in using USB slave and then plugged a DVI--->HDMI cable between the PCH and my computer's monitor. I could then flick between viewing Windows and the PCH's menu to check things were transferring correctly.

great news! ....and for the curious, that means my PCH just got mobile from now on

[daniel_owen_uk]

Via laptop? How you powering it?

[Doggen]

no, no laptop involved jusst, PCH + LCD screen

Doggen - I am sure that you are aware of this but for anyone else tracking this thread remember that DVI cannot carry your audio data. HDMI is a true one-cable solution that will allow you to carry both video and audio to your display. DVI is a video only connection so you will have to get your audio over a separate cable....
