Has anyone at all tested the HD Box Pro in 480i, to see if the colours look washed out (maybe with a PS2 or something, as my 2 consoles are PS2 and Wii)? Also, is it possible to get it with a UK power adaptor instead of NA?

EMAIL them for UK power adapter is OK, also you can request them for a GBP quotation. I have try it with PS2 and VC Game, it work fine but you have to purchase a PS2 component cable.

I don't know what I should do. I emailed two lokal consolestores and asked what is better, the vdigi cable or a vga box. One shop mailed me, that a vga box would be the best way. But the other shop mailed the cable would be the best way. I mean, the cable is the cheapest way but the best?

i have the hdbox pro, i was wondering what the source button does? i have a wii hooked up through component and a xbox 360 through vga, the source doesnt switch between them, the vga from the xbox works when i power off the box.

is that work on normal Desktop VGA output? the monitor show no signal or out of range?

P.S.: try use component cable of xbox with hdboxpro, you may love to use hdboxpro instead of VGA.

Hey everyone if I was to buy a HD PRO thingy, do I need to buy a cable too?
Because I already have 1 VGA cable spare and spare slot for VGA on my PC tower since my computer uses a HDMI one. And I have Samsung 22' which has a 'source' button.

if you already have 1 vga cable then thats enough, the hdbox pro only comes with a power cord, so it assumes you have a component cable for your wii and a regular vga cable (which you have) to go from the box to the monitor. now you may need a headphone jack (male to male) to take the audio from the hdbox pro to the computer, or you can just plug your speakers right into the hdbox pro.

I just received my HDboxPro.
I ordered it on 29 april, so it's almost 1month for France delivery.

As the AC adapter is an HK format, I used one I had but it's only 500mA and it's not working.
The LED is on red/green but no signal go to the VGA output.

I will have to order a new AC adapter now with at least 1000mA (1A).

I just received the Mayflash VGA Wii/PS3 cable. It's a component to VGA converter in the form of a cable.

The image quality of the wii is great. The only problem I have is that the image turns black for 1 second every 30 seconds or so.

Does anyone else have this problem as well?
