LCD monitor has: - DC in - DVI - D-sub - Line in (I believe for audio) Cable box has: - RF in - Digital Audio optical - S-video - Data - USB - IR What kind of cables do I need in order to watch TV on my LCD monitor? Thanks so much, |

| You'll need more than a cable. You'll need a scan converter to go from s-video to VGA. Something like this:

| If your monitor has HDCP support on the DVI-D input, it may work with the FIOS box set to 480p or 720p output. Otherwise you will need a converter box.
