If it's working, then what exactly is the problem and how do you have it connected to the Samsung receiver such that it works?

A transcoder does what I described, i.e. converting 1080i to 800 x 600, for example, but if your display is working with the receiver then you don't need one.

You can't use a DVI-to-VGA adapter, as they are only intended for use with DVI-A connectors (which, in addition to the digital signals, also has analog RGB connections). If you can find one, a DVI (or HDMI) to VGA converter (not adapter) might work, but you would probably run afoul of the HDCP copy protection, as your monitor would not supply the necessary HDCP handshake.
