    Connecting skybox F3 to Projector - Help

    I am having problems connecting a skybox F3 HD to a Dell 1210s Projector.

    I tried a HDMi to VGA (RGB) cable but can't get any picture?

    The projector also has the following additional connection points:
    VGA-A In
    VGA-B In
    S-Video In
    Video In
    USB remote
    VGA Out
    Audio Out
    Audio In

    I would appreciate any advice on how I can set this up?

    You will more than likely have to use the VGA output on the F3 (Red/White/Yellow)

      Your projector only has analog video inputs, Im not sure if Skybox outputs analog in addition to digital via HDMI, it may be a selectable option in video output options, choosing RGB instead of YUV maybe... But even if the Skybox does output analog via HDMI, you have to use the right sort of HDMI to VGA cable, one thats wired for analog, and not just for digital..

      But what will deffo work is the Composite Video & Audio outputs (Yellow, Red & White) on the F3 to the Video & Audio inputs on the projector using RCA cables...
