Default strange problem with 8300HD connected to HDTV and iMac

i have my 8300HD PVR connected to my HDTV via HDMI and to my iMac via Elgato and Svideo

I get this message on the screen when I change channels

"DVI Alert
Your HDTV does not support HDCP. Please disconnect the HDMI connector and use the YPrPb connection to continue watching TV."

to get rid of this message I need to turn the 8300HD (or disconnect the HDMI of course)

anyone have a solution so I can change channels from my iMac without having to walk over to the other room and turn the box on and off again

NOTE: My Pioneer HDTV is off (sleep mode) when this happens!

Default

If the TV is off, then there is no HDCP handshake, so that's why you get the message.
