No possibility to connect the htpc directly to a TV? The only converter 
I've ever seen was used to put an extra channel on coax and could only 
be configured with dipswitches, for that the, then windows, software 
needed to be tricked into thinking a normal TV was connected, it 
wouldn't auto-detect for some reason.
I'm betting yours is the same...

I ussually troubleshoot by taking things out of the equation, especially 
with more exotic stuff like the converter...

Good luck,
