Force HD300 to HDMI Output?

Just got a used HD300, but the screen is black.

My guess is that it is configured for output via "Component", but all I have is HDMI.

Is there any way to force it to put out on HDMI?

I am thinking Factory Reset or maybe something via Telnet...

you don't have ANY RCA video inputs of any kind, computer screen, old tv? That's what I've had to do when HDMI goes wonky on my HD300, and then I can see the menus again to reset.
Sadly, one of my HD200's lost HDMI altogether - and I doubt it's ever coming back. Try the RCA method first - I assume you have the breakout cable?

According to the HD300 manual at http://download.sage.tv/SageTV_HD300_Manual.pdf pressing the "Video Out" button on the remote cycles between outputs
