RE: So far not a happy customer - W3DRK - 04-03-2016
I got mine going today. It turns out using an HDMI to DVI adapter was the problem and it seems those aren't supported. It's a shame the Pine 64 doesn't use Display Port instead...
Anyway, I connected it directly to my Sony Bravia LCD TV and it worked fine. Once I got the Ubuntu image booted and configured it's now running as a headless web sever with the "LAMP" stack installed. It actually runs WordPress quite nicely and displaced an old power hungry Core2Duo box. I'm pleasantly surprised how fast this ARM handles the job.
So besides the seemingly picky HDMI port, I'm perfectly satisfied with my board.

HDMI to DVI adapters don't change the signal in any way, and should be completely transparent to your setup.
