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?

    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.
