BTW, does the Pace box have HDMI? Why not use a purely digital signal instead of the analog component?

yes it has hdmi, and until i had this card that what i was using to my receiver, but as stated shaw probably use's HDCP and the card will not be able to decrypt it.

this is what i tried as suggested above, it dose have settings telling what type of signal to process, (which is lame) the problem is it cant seem to just pass through(even tho it has an proscess off mode which seems to relate to that)

select input processing:
Off(which dose not work)(and i am assuming is the pass-though mode)
Down conversion 1080i HD to SD Anamorphic 16:9 (works)
Down conversion 1080i HD to SD letterbox 16:9(works)
the up conversion options do not work.

I now have the Shaw box set to only send 1080i component to the card and it is showing picture, but as the setting i have to use to get it to work states, it is down converting it to SD.

yes but no picture, i still think that HDMI on the pace box is still HPCD, but the component dose not
