Connecting V+ HD box to my Dell 2407WFP

MilanoChris · 19-03-2008, 10:45

Getting V+ HD next week and intend to run it through my 2407WFP. Since the monitor only has one DVI connection and I'm using that for my PC I wanted to use the Component connection. Now I understand I can't view HDCP stuff like this so what channels will I be missing out on with the normal £56 a month package for BB, Phone and V+?

I could use a HDMI > DVi cable but that'd mean an expensive auto-switching box or physically changing the cables when I want to switch inputs hence I'm wanting to use component.

Sound BTW is going to be optical from the V+ box to my amp.

AFAIK BBC hd is not copyright protected but movies on demand and some tv on demand are.As to future hd channels I don't know.

Thanks. I won't be watching any of the movies as it costs AFAIK, I'll mostly be watching TV on demand. I'll give it a go with Component first and see how that goes. TBH I'll probably just get a HDMI to DVI cabe as a spare and only to use when HDCP becomes an issue.
