I just searched for this very question as I've just experienced it first hand. My aunt has just had Sky installed after moving from a 'Virgin cable' area. She's only paying around £20/month subs but has had a new Sky+HD box installed.
She complained of getting viewing issues after only having it installed yesterday. I called in and checked connections and the Sky installer had connected scart and HDmI cable. The problem she was getting meant that the 'source' button on the TV controller was the only way to get the picture to show. Everytime the TV and Sky box was turned off, the problem returned. She doesn't have the HD package so, by trial and error, I discovered that the HDmI cable is the only one you need. This gives good quality picture on all channels and, of course, excellent HD pictures on the few 'free HD' channels from Sky. Hope this helps

What do you need to connect your vga PC to a HDMI tv a converter or an adapter?
Many modern televisions have analog inputs as well as the digital HDMI input. It is worth checking the manual to see if the television supports RGB inputs with separate horizontal and vertical sync signals. If the television has an RGBHV input, the VGA signal may well work through it.If the television only has HDMI inputs, the PC will need a DVI display output. This is a digital signal format that is compatible with HDMI. A DVI to HDMI lead should connect the two without problems. Note that HDMI also carries audio on the same cable but DVI does not. To connect the audio, a separate lead will be needed to connect to the analog input that is normally linked with at least one HDMI input. Once again, check the manual to see if one of the inputs has a selectable analog audio input.DVI outputs can be obtained as expansion cards for desktop PCs and as USB devices for use with laptops.Some newer PCs actually have HDMI connectors built in. Laptops sometimes have them fitted to save space on connectors. If this is the case, a single HDMI lead is likely to carry both video and audio signals.
