Hi WaltR, I had a friend of mine who also does Karaoke, and he uses a "Powered" HDMI splitter, so we tried it with my Laptop and yup, it still didnt work grrr!

FYI. My Singer's monitor doesn't have a HDMI input but, has both VGA & DVI inputs. So what I have done is I've connected a passive HDMI to DVI converter adapter to the DVI Input of the monitor, and of course thats where I connect my HDMI cable from the splitter.
The Pub TV's have HDMI Inputs.

Q. Could it be the mismatch of the "Converted DVI" input to HDMI that could be causing the problem with my new Laptop?? Yet it works perfect with my old Laptop lol aaaagh!
