    Yes - just get an HDMI-DVI cable. However if the output is encrypted, you'll need to make sure that your DVI display supports HDCP, or else it won't work.

    Also, DVI doesn't support sound, so if you want that you'll need to provide an alternative destination for it.

    just to clarify you can buy an adaptor which goes on one end of a HDMI cable to connect to dvi

    might be easier to source than a dvi to hdmi cable

    i bought the adaptor in PC world ifirc

    That's a good option if you already have a spare HDMI cable :)

    If you don't - just pop into most TV stores and they'll sell you a DVI-HDMI cable (I got mine in Power City).
