Just got a new Xfinity box and lo-and behold there is no YPbPr Component RGB out on the X1 box, so I'm having problems getting the Slingbox to show the channels in HD. I looked into this a little and it sounds like the fix is using the HDMI out from the X1 into a HDMI to Component converter, then run the Components to the Slingbox. Has anyone used this setup before I go and order the converter and find it didn't work?

I'm currently getting a black and white picture (didn't have a picture last night, and over the phone I directed my Dad on a few things to do so I think I'm on the right track). The remote connectivity works fine, so that isn't a problem. If anyone has any workaround without the converter, I'd be glad to give it a shot.
