Hey, I'm going to be buying a beovision 8-32 and I shall be using it with my apple tv, playstation 3 and my HD set top box, the way I plan to configure it will be.

AppleTV > Component

PS3 > HDMI

But what can I do with my HD set top box? Would It work if I bought a HDMI to DVI to VGA adaptor, I know It has a VGA port that will be unused otherwise.

I would appreciate some help please!

An 'HD fury' will do what you need, convert the HDMI or DVI signal to VGA. I've heard of people using these fine on PS3's, but there is no reason that it wouldn't work on your STB.

Cheers,

Ben

The idea with the VGA is interesting. Does anyone know what resolution that input can handle? Is it a true HD like third input? Is not a cheap option though.

).  Both of these will work with the Playstation 3 codes in the PUC for BeoSystem 3 and BV8 and they work great!

 

Good luck!
