Just bought an 800HD from eBay before remembering the HDMI port on my TV doesn't work :-ohcrap.

I am able to get 720/1080 from my Xbox 360 via the YPbPr connection on my TV, is it possible to do the same from the DreamBox via an adapter cable or similar? or is it time for me to give up on the old girl and get a new TV?

Cheers

EDIT:

Or would something like this

_http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HDMI-VGA-Component-RGB-5-RCA-YPbPr-Audio-Signal-Converter-PS3-Monitor-/110783408111?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item19cb34a7ef#ht_4289wt_1219

be suitable?

In the end I just decided to just buy a new TV.

Did the usual thing of going into the shop intending to spend £250 or so on a pretty basic 32" with working HDMI, then thinking "well if I just add £X, i could get a bigger/better TV" and so on, so ended up with a 40" Sony :-ohcrap
