After I do the EDID thingie tonite and it all works and stuff.... I'll explain it to you so you can do it and then use your HD Fury.
I have a feeling re-writing the EDID is about as simple as can be. For me the hard part was getting a DVI cable and configuring my PC. My DVI video card was not installed and I had to hunt for it's driver and stuff like that.
Mikeeby,
I appreciate you comment but I was a HTPC user for years and "just works" wasn't really applicable. Actually I got my HTPC working pretty much bullet proof eventually but ... I'm glad I left HTPC behind. My PS3 is like the ultimate HTPC and costs a lot less then any HTPC I ever built too. I actually gave using PC's completely and switched to mac but that's a long story (took me forever to make that choice but I'm much happier on the mac side.)

Brian, did the EDID Editor work for you or are you hanging from a rafter somewhere 
I downloaded that program but there is no instructions on how to use it. Did you find instructions somewhere or are you just winging it? I don't need it but thought it would be nice to have in the event of....

Hi,
The EDID editor from Viewsonic might work but I could never figure it out.
There was a DOS based program that would actually write EDID's but it wouldn't write the last 2 bytes for some reason and those are the ONLY values that needed to be changed 
Anyway,... I gave up and bought Powerstrip. I will likely never, ever, use it again but at least I have used it in the past so that's some consolation.
Once Powerstrip was registered updating the EDID took seconds and worked fully.
I now have arrived!!!!!!! Full HDMI Audio and Video and I'm tickled pink.
I could have done without these problems but I've very glad someone figured a fix. And very glad the HDfury doesn't have a write protected EDID!!!!!
As I understand it the Moome users don't have a fix this easy... They have to either sent the unit to someone or build some special hardware to do the update.

Congrats. Now go tell Kal that I was correct and someone who can't hear much of a difference between lossless and downmixed over S/PDIF is deaf!

Thanks,
Is Kal not running HDMI audio yet? ???
That would be the only explanation for that theory that would make sense.
Actually in my case everything sounds better with this new AVR but maybe that's due to how things have changed since I last bought an AVR.
I've been listening to lossless sound from lots of my discs and it's great.
