Hi, anyone know where i can buy a dvi to YPbPr adaptor in the UK , or
online which will ship to the uk?

want to output hdtv from my pc to my jvc tft which has a vga connector,
but also YPbPr 's , found a couple online but they only seem to be US
based and only for ATI cards?

thanks

need a 15 meter cable which will problably cost a small fortune!

You're unlikely to find any device that converts DVI digital to either
component or VGA (essentially RGBHV). Inexpensive DVI-VGA adapters
don't do that. They make use of the fact that the DVI spec allows for
analog RGB on certain pins of the DVI connector (the 4 pins on either
side of the flat blade). They only work if the source device uses
those pins. Some (maybe most) PC video cards do; most other devices
(digital receivers, upconverting DVD players, etc.) do not. Since
you're coming from a PC, such an adapter might work for you. Try to
get one cheap or borrow one from a friend if possible. How would you
connect your computer to a monitor with only a VGA input?

The bigger problem is the 15 meter cable. That's a bit far for either
analog or digital, but I'd sooner trust digital. Analog might give a
degraded image, but digital would either work or not. The right way
to do it is to convert to fiber and back again at each end. And yes,
it's expensive. A 15 meter cable might run US$400-$500. But
MonoPrice, often recommended for low-priced cables, has a couple of 50
foot DVI-HDMI copper cables. The cheapest is about $67. Don't know
if they ship to the UK. Here's a link:

Other solutions include moving the computer closer to the TV or using
it as a server with some multimedia device (or another computer) close
to the TV pulling video files from it.

From what Ive read, you'll be much better off using the VGA connector or
getting a DVIHDMI adapter.
