I have a HDCP compatible LCD LED monitor with only DVI and VGA inputs. My cable box is an older DIrecttv non hd box with rca (y/r/w) and S-video inputs. Need all the help pls. HDTV's are $100 more and trying to cheat my way around having to buy one.
Get an adapter like the ref below. Use it to connect from the S-video output of the satellite box to the yellow composite or VGA input on the monitor. That gives you video on your monitor, which has no audio input. Connect the red/white audio output of the satellite box to the input of an external amplifier (home theater amp or a simple stereo amp) that has its own speakers. Should work very well.
