HD200 and Computer Monitor
I have an extra extender I want to setup in a bedroom. The only tv I have available is a SD 13". I also have a CRT 19" VGA monitor that supports 1600X1200. Is there anyway to connect the extender to it without a converter box? I have a projector cable that is component to vga, but I don't think it will work that way. Could I go HDMI to DVI and them DVI to VGA?

I don't think you can avoid a converter. The only outputs on the HD200 are HDMI (digital) or component YPbPr.

Well I could go from HDMI to DVI right? Would it then be possable to go from DVI to VGA? Is this just a waste of time?

HDMI lacks the analog output that DVI-A has. HDMI and DVI aren't always the same thing. You can't get analog out of the HDMI port and the VGA converters are the same price as a new monitor. You could just buy yourself a 19" monitor for $100.

Agreed, you can probably find a cheap LCD that will take HDMI inputs for less hassle and cost than adapters to do this.
