Hi,
I'm looking into buying a slingbox pro however my V+ Samsung Box provided by Virgin Media only has either an option to output via Scart or HDMI directly.
Would connecting my V+ Cable Box to the slingbox pro via a HDMI to component cable actually work? I've heard on some forums this isnt possible because of encryption for the signal via HDMI...
Something like this: http://www.madsdeal.com/en/15m-golde...n¤cy=GBP
Basically Im wanting to connect my HDMI cable from my samsung box to Slingbox via the HD Connect cable, a cable that converts HDMI to component, would this work?
I dont have a TV using the same box so the standalone cable box would be used just for the slingbox.
How would one connect the slingbox pro to my cable box?
Cheers!
