DVI digital over VGA cable

[Jack B. Pollack]

Does anyone know of an adapter that will allow me to run a DVI-D signal
through a VGA cable
(turn a VGA cable into a DVI-D cable)?

Problem is that my computer has a DVI output, and my flat-screen TV in
another room has a DVI input (digital only) but the only wire running
through the walls is a VGA cable.

When I google it I am only finding results for adapters to go from DVI to
VGA.

I did try a standard DVI to VGA adapter on both ends and it didn't work. I
think it is only passing the analog part of the signal so there is nothing
to "convert back" at the digital end.

Thanks

Those convert to DVI-A. The TV is only DVI-D in

How about

Sounds like it would convert the DVI-D to analog to send over your VGA
cable and then back to digital at the other end rather than actually
sending the digital signal as-is, though.

Because a VGA cable doesn't have enough individual conductors, you can't do
what you want to do with simple adapters.
