Im in a similar convo on another forum. I don't even think some of the vendors know what is going on. Here is my update......
Oversky confirmed that it would work on a 60i on dec 1 via the below after sending him the same pic of my camera in my previous posts:
"Thanks for your email. I passed your email to my engineer, he said our converter can work with you camera for sure, if it doesn't work still, please send it back to us, we will send you replacement as soon as possible, I'm sorry for the trouble.
Thank you!"
I was contemplating a refund, but after that statement I requested a replacement and that it be tested before it was shipped. Sent mine back and the new one shipped out on dec 24 with the following:
"Yes, the converter is updated and with the new firmware and a plug, I've shipped it, I'm not sure if it works with the 60i but someone said it worked.
Merry Christmas!"
I can only assume it was not tested with a statement like that. If it doesn't work again I'm done with this and will sell it to someone across the pond to cut my losses.
It's hard to believe the programmers "forgot" about the whole 60i market?!

I notice the later versions have a small connector on the board so you don't have to solder the outputs, maybe these later versions are NTSC compatible.

Have you tested yet?
Wow, that's a long wait. I've biten the bullet and ordered one.

What helpful info is there? Could you tell me? The domain oversky.com doesn't work now.

Sorry, www.overskyrc.com. Boiled down, the converter now works on 60i nex5n's, and originally they only worked on 50i nex5n's even though most of the vendors didn't advertise that. Look at the little black sticker on the bottom of your nex to find the version you have.
Mine has been working great so far. Very light and clear picture.

Can't get a picture from my Nex-5n (bought in Norway) using the Oversky HDMI to AV converter:
http://www.overskyrc.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=56&products_id=479
The IR trigger works fine, but only black screen on display.
Connected my old converter and it still works fine .
Already did this:
Attention before using HDMI to AV converter (must follow the following steps! It fits SONY converter and Converter for General use)
1) Most importantly, don’t connect the converter or any cable to the camera before the process. Set up HDMI resolution to AUTO, saved, then quit the set up menu, and turn off the camera.
2) Connect the HDMI converter or the related cable, turn on the camera, it will work normally.
3) If no image is appeared, please check and see if the resolution set up is on “AUTO” state, that is to say, we need to check whether the step one is completed and saved or not, and then start working. If it still does not working, please repeat the step 1).
Any help will be appreciated

Are you talking about the display on the camera or your monitor?
I mean on the monitor
Here is a video:

Not really sure what's going on with your unit but the LED on my HDMI convertor (which is the same as yours) does not flash when the reciever is not conector. Also the camera powers the HDMI convertor - I think you said that you had fed 5v to it although I don't think this would matter.
