Getting HD cable signal to Infocus X-1 projector

Trying to get a proper HD cable signal to my Infocus X-1 projector. Problem is the box has component and DVI-D connections. The projector only has VGA, S-Video. Right now, I'm just running S-Video out of the projector, which is not terrible on HD channels. Just thought I may be missing an even better picture available.

You ARE missing a major improvement in PQ for HD channels. You will need some kind of transcoder or video processor to go from component to VGA. Check Key Digital among others.

Maybe you can still get the component-? adaptor cable from Infocus?...thats where I got mine a few years back. If not...do an Ebay search for it.

I have a Comcast hi-def box...1080i looks very nice on the X-1.

I think Monoprice.com has some adapters or cables of some sort to make things like this work.

Thanks for your help.
I did get in touch with Infocus customer service and they suggested the VESA to component adaptor, which I have now ordered.
Hope it helps.

Yes, VESA to component adaptor...thats what I got from them (I could not remember, exactly what the adaptor cable was called). I set my Comcast hi-def box to 1080i and the picture looks very good.
