    Sky connection to TFT Monitor

    I've just taken delivery of 2 Dell 2405FPW 24" Widescreen TFTs.

    They're capable of PIP and have S-Video, Component, VGA, DVI and Composite inputs.

    I have a sky box in my study which I want to connect to one of the monitors.

    What would be the best way to do this? The box is a Panasonic, which I don't think has S-Video out (it certainly doesn't have an S-Video socket, I don't know whether this could be done via Scart -> S-Video?)

    I briefly tried connecting it to the monitor via composite using a scart -> composite/l&r audio plug and a standard audio interconnect (all I had lying around), but could not get a picture (last time it was plugged into a TV, it was in another room and outputting RGB via Scart).

    Any thoughts/advice appreciated

    Thanks
    Chez

    Most Sky boxes will only output RGB or composite.
    Your best bet would be to just get the composite feed and stick it into the 2405's composite input. Then watchi it via PIP.

    Just discovered the PIP on my 2001 and it's not bad - haven't actually "used" it yet though
