Q. I have an Explorer 4200 cable TV box with RCA jacks, RF coax and an S-video port, and a Gateway 900W LCD computer monitor with both DVI and VGA ports. Is there any way of connecting the cable box to the monitor with simple cables, or will it require an expensive converter of some kind?
A. Just call your cable TV company and ask for a digital HD cable box.
Most cable companies like Time Warner, Comcast, Cox, Cablevision, etc. all offer free upgrades to an HD cable box.
These digital HD cable boxes usually have either a DVI or HDMI output port, which you can connect to any HDCP-compliant LCD Monitor. (Yes, DVI is compatible with HDMI). This works most of the time.
If by some chance this doesn't work, then start thinking about spending money for a converter or something.
Hope this helps.

Can I connect My LCD Monitor to my cable box?
Q. I have a HP 2009m LCD monitor. My cable box is a Explorer 3200.
What cables do I need for this?
What cables do I need for this?
A. The HP 2009m monitor can be connected to a digital HD cable box. That would be something like a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3200HD, which has a DVI or HDMI port that is compatible with the HDCP-compliant DVI port on your HP 2009m.
Your Explorer 3200 is the old low-definition box that has no DVI or HDMI, so it will NOT work with the HP 2009m.
Solution: Upgrade your cable TV service to digital HD. Your cable company will exchange your 3200 for a 3200HD, which you can then hook up to your HP 2009m.
