Voom on LCD monitor?

[barth2k]

Has anyone successfully hooked a Voom box to a LCD monitor via DVI, like the Apple Cinema HD? Or is it different kind of DVI?

I have not done it but here where I work they have it set up down the hall at a regional support center to an LCD monitor. As far as I'm aware there is only one standard for DVI and all use the same so there should be no technical reason it doesn't work.

Just make sure the LCD monitor is HDCP compliant.

So you are saying I could hook up my old 17" LCD Gateway monitor to a Voom STB and get a really good SD display for the bedroom. or office?

I would also be curious if any one has done this.

As long as it is HDCP compliant.

As long as it is HDCP compliant.

And as long as it has DVI interface, not just VGA.
And I guess the monitor needs to be able to support the HD resolution/refresh rate of the STB - I am not sure all of them do.
Give it a try, though...

I used to use a computer monitor with my Dish 6000 since it has a VGA output. When I got Voom, I got a VGA->DVI adapter for my pj, but I don't know if you can go in the other direction since the Voom box is DVI digital, whereas my pj accepts digital or analog.

No, that adapter will not work with DVI-D interface used by VOOM, which is digital only.
