Sky box and monitor

Posted here as well as in techie stuff forum.
I bought myself a 24 in monitor for my computer, a Samsung 2494HM.
I have a spare SD sky box which I would like to connect to the monitor instead of the 14 in telly it is already connected to.
However there is not a scart socket on the monitor.
There is a DVI digital socket, which is connected to the computer, a 15 pin, D-sub video socket and a HDMI socket, non of which are output by the sky box.
So is there a way I connect the sky box to the monitor, preferably without spending £60 odd pound for some kind of converter device?
This is a spare sky box left over when I got sky+ it is used to watch sky in the bedroom, nothing else is connected to it.

You will be buying a converter, all your Sky outputs are analogue, all your monitor inputs are digital.
Any TV inputs on the PC?0 -
You'll pay a premium to get a monitor with some of the more 'living room' type connectors. And you'll not find one with SCART as far as I've seen.0
