I am trying to hook up my Dish 811 HDTV IRD to my 2 year old 52" RCA HDTV TV. I currently hook up the 811 via component video and it works great, but my TV has only one component video input. I would like to move the 811 to the DVI output, but my TV only has "Digital VGA" inputs. I tried to use a DVI to VGA adapter, but the pins are arranged different on the plug and will not fit on my 811. Is there any way to hook this up and get all the HD channels?

Thanks
