How can I connect my cablebox to my PC's LCD

[Azndude51]

My TV is broken and won't get fixed for a coupe of weeks. I want to connect my high def cable box to my 19" LCD (has VGA, DVI). The cable box has component, composite, S-video, HDMI, and DVI outputs. However, the DVI has HDCP and won't work with the LCD. Does anyone know if there are B&M stores that carries converters or cables that will make the two compatible? I don't want to order anything online since it will take probably up to a week before I get it. Also, I can return it after my TV is fixed if I buy it from a B&M store.

It'll cost a little but this will give you an idea what to look for, TV to PC Monitor

can't you use an HDMI to DVI cable? i picked one up for ~15 at shop4tech.com(you can check FW to see if you can find a better deal somewhere else?) to go from my PC to my proj.

I'm pretty sure HDCP would keep it from working.
