w00t! Finally I got my nView Spectra to work thanks to uvodee's cable goodness. But now I need some composite input. Does anyone have recommendations on a cheap one?
btw... I'll post pics of my ghetto setup sometime. I can't get the lighting right, because the flash drowns out the picture totally.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Nice project. It reminds me of my old setup. In fact it is my old setup! AI-1000 + nview spectra C cept mine was the newer model with composite. Your better off with buying a vga box becuse the nview panels have bad marcovision issues. The vga box fixes that. Do you plan to retrofit?
Rellikom's VGA converter from e-bay
Just thought I'd add, I clicked Rellikom's link to the e-bay auctions for the VGA convertor on e-bay, and bought one: 29.95 + 7 shipping.
Got it quickly, and tried it on my PC CRT - works great, composite from my DSS looked fabulous.
Still not ready to try it on my DIY setup, but looks good so far.
Only bummer is it takes only SVID and Composite.

You might want to take a look at the Viewsonic VB50HRTV which can be had for $99. I use it with my setup and it scales s-video and composite all the way up to 1024x768. You'll want something that goes at least all the way up to the native rez of your LCD. You usually get what you pay for and not all VGA converters are equal quality... you can't just look at the specs, you need to check out reviews.

Full screen 640x480 no bars
not sure of other resolutions
only tried it with 640x480
Im really only concerned with big screen tv anyway so its
"good enough"
But for under $150 total setup cost (shipping included) you cant beat a 8 foot tv
(sx812c,dukane sf4030,vga box)
Still looking for a good screen
Cant wait to close on my new house,I'll have a perfect space to setup a dedicated home theater/rec room.
I figure I'll be around $1k complete (5.1 audio,DVD,VHS,remote controlled lighting,seating,etc...)not bad
SOOOOOOOOOO glad I stumbled across this forum!!!!
