I probably misinterpreted what the Detective does, so let me tell my story.
I had been using the HDMI output of my DTV satellite receiver to feed a LCD TV in my kitchen, while I used the analog output to feed my HD Leeza scaler for my CRT home theater. I wanted to avoid the A/D and D/A conversions for the scaler, so I got the Detective and a powered HDMI splitter. I "learned" the EDID from my LCD, removed the chip, and then first tried feeding the LCD from the Detective output and got a "Not supported format" error on my LCD. The sat receiver was hooked into the Detective input. What have I done wrong?
Thanks,
Bob

The first step is to plug the "detective" into the display device directly - you need to feed a signal into it. (for power)
It then populates the blank EDID with the EDID of the display device.
Then you plug the detective onto your souce device (before the Leeza).
Everything should work after that. Mine works beautifully - the Crystalio 2 has a weird EDID. I have a display that has lots of entries (1920*1080 @24/48/50/60- 32 bit colour - all the way down to 800*600) - I use the EDID from that as a "master", its great.

Thanks! I didn't send a signal to it while it was "learning" the EDID. I'll give it a try.
