DishNet 6000 rec

The model 6000 has a 15 pin RGB output. If I connect that to a VGA input on a LCD computer monitor, will I get video? I am not worried about HD, but how good is the picture quaility of RGB output compared to s-vid or rca? thanks

That's only one way to get HD signal out of 6000. EDIT: Plus component output.

Yes, if your monitor can adjust to the output resolution/freq .

The 6000 also has analog component out...

so the RGB output on the 6000 will not give 480i or 480p resolutions? my 22" LCD monitor will only go up to 480p

yeah I just looked it up for myself.. no 480 with RGB on a 6000. My plan was to setup a dish reciever and a PC to a LCD monitor. The monitor has a DVI and VGA input. I was going to run the DVI to the PC and the VGA to the RGB on the 6000, but now I know the 6000's RGB doesn't support 480.. After thinking for a few minutes, I remembered I got a 811 stored away that I haven't used for about 3 years. I believe I can use DVI to the 811, since that will support 480p and just use VGA to the PC. I believe this will work, if anyone thinks there will be a problem with that or knows a better way.. please let me know. thanks

Why would you want to send 480p to a computer monitor? I have used a 6000 with a computer monitor with the output set at 720p or 1080i and it works fine. The 6000 upconverts the SD channels to 720p/1080i.

I wish I could use the LCD at a higher resolution for watching TV, but the highest I can get a TV picture using the DVI is 480p.

when I first got the LCD, I hooked it up to my 722 using a HDMI/DVI adapter and tryed both 1080i and 720p but neither resolution would give me a picture. When I have the LCD connected to my PC, I use the max resolution my video card gives which is 1680 x 1050. So I can't tell you why I can only see 480p while watching TV..

Can't find where you did post the LCD model/maker info.
