    Connecting Dreambox to LCD Monitor

    As the title suggests, can anyone possily tell me if there is a Dreambox that had VGA output, so i can connect it to a LCD Monitor ?? The only spare connector the LCD monitor has is 1 spare VGA, the DVI socket is being used by my PC, although i could swap them if its possible ??

    there is no dreambox with a direct vga output, however you could try a scart to vga cable

                  they work fine.. my father-in-law bought 2 off ebay and they work fine for connecting his items to his LCD Monitor.. tested on a Virgin SD box, DVD Player and VHS Player
