Hey,
I wanna buy WD Live TV, but wanna plug it to my LG 22’’ screen, which has dvi only. I can buy a hdmi->dvi cable, but what about the sound? My screen has no component… Any tricks, speakers with component, anything cheap to make it work?

Get a red and white component at one end, which adapts into a computer speaker cable (like a headphone jack type setup) at the other end. Mine is attached to a pair of computer speakers. $50 gets you a pretty good computer speaker setup

You can still do that.
WDTV-HDMI–> HDMI to DVI adapter → LG
WDTV-Audio Out (included cable) → LG Audio In ; Set WDTV Audio Mode to STEREO.
Or use a separate amplifier as descirbed.
Thx guys,
you mean sth like that?
Well, the cable that it comes with will be good enough.
It has the 1/8" mini plug at one end, and branches out into 3 RCA connectors. You can just ignore the yellow composite one and use the 2 audio ones (red and white).
I want to do like this:
WD Live → Composite cable → jack adaptor → ‘line in’ jack port in my speakers
Is it ok?
Yes, sorry… I misunderstood… that should work.
Thx!
