Default DVI to VGA adapter

Can a dvi to vga adopter be used to watch HD contents on the lcd monitor? Would greatly appreciate any ideas.

VGA supports higher resolutuions than HDTV but what connections are you considering?

If it is the normal vga 15 pin socket then yes. I use a dvi to vga adaptor from my PC graphics card to my oldish LCD monitor.

As your post is in the Dreambox section, I assume you are considering the DMM 800 and the type of video output may need to be changed.

Thanks Jim,

Thats correct, its DMM 800 that I want to connect to my large LCD monitor, which just has 15 pin VGA input. From your post I understand that the type of output will have to be changed. But how?

Unfortunately, I dont have a 800, still saving hard, but the manual section 3.1 may help you.
