Here's the deal; I want to have my HDTV (Zenith HDTV/Monitor model D36D53) connected to my PC monitor's (Samsung SyncMaster 170MP) PIP mode. It works great using the line-out (RCA) from my HDTV for viewing cable and VHS tapes, but when I have my pro-scan DVD player, Gamecube, Xbox, or any other pro-scan/HD source running, the output goes back to cable TV :/

Is this some sort of macrovison crap or something? Or is it because the HDTV would have to downconvert a 480p source to the RCA line out?

Any help here would be much appreciated.
