[mythtv-users] connecting mythbox to HD tv -- dvi->hdmi or vga->component

[Richard Bronosky]

I think all PC video cards are DVI-I, which is DVI-D plus a few analog
pins from which you can extract VGA with a cheap cable.  All DVI inputs
should be DVI-D exclusive, because an analog DVI input doesn't make
sense.  If you're going to have an analog in, it should be component or
VGA.  DVI-I was designed to make PC video cards reverse compatible with
analog VGA monitors, to ease the transition.

Is this correct?  Anyone?  I'm not taking the time to verify on

I may have missed the answer there, in which case, please point out the article to me, but don't say "check forum X."
