Having read the other review about needing a CRT PC Monitor to set up a PS3 HDMI output (which in my case had defaulted to 576i), I was also not able to get a picture directly on my Toshiba ET1 video projector until first connecting the PS3 via the HD Fury to an old CRT VGA monitor for the setting up the PS3 HDMI output. This is a PS3 AV tip, not an HD Fury fault - but hopefully useful to folk who are also interested in purchasing an HD Fury, and would have similar trouble setting it all up to VGA from HDMI.
Also be aware that out of the box that the connection on the HD Fury is not actually HDMI but DVI-D, requiring me to by another accessory (an HDMI male to DVI-D male Belkin 16' cable) before I could even get around to testing the HD Fury. I have marked it down as it was a misleading product description, and I was annoyed at the delay in not being able to use it out of the box. As the price of some £70 is high for the HD Fury in my opinion, and I was without any other options at Amazon for something that would enable my current AV setup to work (currently no HDMI inputs on monitors, TVs or projectors), it was for me still a necessary purchase and is reccomended as it does seem to get a content protected HDMI Blu Ray movie to a VGA only display.
The pictures from BluRay movies off the PS3 are now playing at 720p on my Toshiba ET1 projector via the routing:
PS3 console
HDMI to DVI-D cable (purchased seperately on Amazon)
HD Fury
VGA to VGA mini extender cable (supplied with HD Fury)
Toshiba projector

After some effort and research on the internet I am now getting excellent results from my HDfury. The missing information that I wish I had known before purchase is that for use with an EP706 the HDfury needs a power supply 5V. I fortunately had a multi-voltage adaptor and I used that, but I wonder how many people just give up. It is not obvious from the literature and even when you receive the product it is not obvious; the power supply connection is a tiny little socket in the side.

2 things...1, make sure you read up on this, if your reading this... well done. you wont be mis-lead into buying this adapter believing it is a HDMI interface, coz its dvi-d. so make sure you have all the necessary cables/converters to run this from your hdmi port.
2, The price is a little steep for what it actually does, and full HD is quite difficult to achieve with this unit so be warned, I am not impressed by this item compared to other alternatives out there.

Awesome, but not what it says on the tin.
The product is pretty light which is good, and it comes with a mini-vga extender so it doesn't have to be plugged straight into a device, so the HD Fury is not stressed if plugged... Read more

Great product worth the money
I have had this item for over 2 years now. It does require a hdmi to dvi converter (a couple of quid), my set up is a PS3 to 3M X62 projector without HDMI input. Read more

HD Fury
I am not that impressed with the product. It does do the job but do not expect a HD quality picture.Did not work with SKY 720p or 1080i setting for some reason.
