Will this force a HTPC to 2CH or simply pass through to receiver?

I have mine hooked up to my bedroom TV. It's a Samsung with no audio out puts. So I have a droid set top box Exoon hooked up HDMI to it. I have Bose music monitor speakers connected to the 3.5mm output of this device. So I use the 2ch function.

My setup is: Raspberry &lt;HDMI&gt; ViewHD ViewHD &lt;HDMI&gt; TV ViewHD &lt;TOSLink/optical&gt; Onkyo TX-SR500 The ViewHD is provided with a switch that you can switch between pass-through/2CH/5.1, in my case 5.1 So when I have AC3 content played on the raspberry it is detected as Dolby D on the Onkyo. No chance to test DTS yet.

There can be if you program it to. For my HTPC, I have programmed the channel up/down button as the page up/down when using the guide.

I'm using XBMC with a Linux backend, I use a hwplug option for sound and it works fine.

No, this one does not. Yamaha will be releasing receivers soon with 2.2. Bear in mind, at a much higher price. What sources do you own that require HDCP 2.2? Most consumers will have nothing that supports 2.2 at this time.

I believe zone 2 will take any audio source from the receiver... However, HDMI Out 2 will only mirror what is on HDMI Out 1. It will not let you output two separate video streams. Hope that helps!

I use it with my Win 7 HTPC. Love it - and I don't have any signal strength issues. I plugged the tiny receiver into a front USB port...and I can reliably use it from anywhere in my living room.My only gripe is that my mouse thumbpad is finicky - pointer moves when I either depress it to click or lift my thumb off. But there is also a dedicated mouse click button, so I use that. Have to also hold down the function key to make it a right click, so that's a bit awkward.

I beleive that HDCP stripping only occurs on port 4, I can confirm that it definitely strips this on unit.

Sorry,I don't know what dual link is. I use this my Htpc with hdmi and it works very good with my surround sound receiver

Sorry; I would suspect that if it is possible after initial configuration, it would be considered proprietary. Contact Kingston.

It depends. If your satellite box outputs to Component video (i.e. five colored plugs), you're pretty much good to go. If it's standard-definition Composite video (three plugs), then you might need to find an adapter for it, as this card doesn't include one. HDMI connections might work as well, but be aware that this card does not comply with High-Definition Content Protection (HDCP) standards, so if your receiver box requires HDCP, then you will not get a signal via HDMI cable on this card.

Exactly! At first, I wanted to control the HDMI devices thru my TV but shortly realized I couldn't see the program options. You will switch between HDMI devices thru the receiver. Kinda simplifies things a bit.

I have not enabled this feature but I saw this option in the configuration. It should not be a problem. Mine works great, once I changed the MTU to 1492, I have not had the slightest problem with this unit doing streaming TV, my laptop, phones, and tablets.

it can be. There's a menu item in the setup menu called "HDMI Setup". In there you can enable pass through for one source at a time.

Should be no problem as long as your receiver has optical or digital outputs.

Not sure - but I did find it annoying the remote did not have direction keys (ie: up, down, left, right) it only has a mouse which isn't always effective for htpc configurations especially when the application UI is normally manipulated with direction keys for quick navigation. My use was on a htpc with xbmc and had to return the product because it didn't satisfy my need. Hope this helps.Wm

I have never tried because I'm only using one output to my receiver but it should work using both outputs to the same input.

Never used that option as I have an HTPC and PS3 and all my other PCs and DLNA devices such as tablets that I use for this
