My Motorola Dual Tuner DVR HD box doesnt have an HDMI output to fit my TV's HDMI input, what do I do?

The box I got has a DVI and IEEE outputs. My TV has an HDMI input. The picture quality on the TV using regular component cables is horrible, and I wanted to use an HDMI cable. But the HDMI-HDMI cable doesnt work since the box doesnt have one. Is there a DVI-HDMI cable? Is that what I should get?

Any advice is appreciated.

    Yes, they do make HDMI/DVI cables, or you can get a HDMI/DVI adapter plug.

    You will also have to connect audio outputs from the Motorola box to the tv since HDMI carries the audio and using the HDMI/DVI conversion will lose audio (DVI doesn't carry audio).

    in spite of you have it is not an HD television. it particularly is a call for of the international intense Definition standards that "HD" and "HD waiting" television gadgets have HDMI ports. it is not available to purchase any much less costly converter for HDMI to RGB or the rest different than DVI (it particularly is a working laptop or laptop video reveal equipment). you have a television set with something observed as "factor Video" inputs. those are 3 phono (RCA) sockets colored crimson, green and blue. The alerts carried by this technique are good yet they do no longer look to be HD and (in spite of the socket colors) they do no longer look to be RGB (crimson, green, Blue shade alerts). they do no longer carry audio the two. you will get fairly good pictures by connecting the Sky field to the television employing a SCART connector. this might carry actual RGB alerts and stereo sound. besides the undeniable fact that it particularly is purely no longer intense Definition and could be not extra valuable than you will get from a usually taking place Sky field.
