Ive looked on the internet but the only thing I see is expensive boxes. HOWEVER someone on a forum said that you can get a cable for ATi cards that goes DVI to component. Does anyone have any more info on this? Svideo makes me cry. Thanks!

is there any reason the DVI one would have noticibly higher quality than the vga to component adapter?
 
I wonder why they call it a HDTV Adap., shouldn't it work on anything w/ component input?

the DVI requires much less adaptation. to get VGA you need a $100+ adapter box that you have to plug in and power, etc while with DVI (and a card that supports DVI-I or DVI-A, the radeon 9500+'s do) you need a $30 adapter

yes and NO

it will work with any tv witn component input as long as you are passing a 480 interlaced signal. Try to pass a 480p or anything higher and it will NOT work

On HDTV. Components allow for both 480i and all standard HDTV progressive signals.
