Curious had this to say:
I am not sure if the older XP extenders can decode and play HD MPEG2 files
and since the source of these is always a digital broadcast the extender
displays a poorly worded error message.
I may agree with him. I don't know what model Linksys extender you have,
On top of that I am not sure your TV is HDCP compliant, The Specifications
do not mention HDCP, so a two year old TV may not be.
Do you have the TV connected with the HDMI connection?
If so do you have a Component output from the Linksys Extender, if so try
the component output.
