Getting HD cable signal to Infocus X-1 projector

Trying to get a proper HD cable signal to my Infocus X-1 projector. Problem is the box has component and DVI-D connections. The projector only has VGA, S-Video. Right now, I'm just running S-Video out of the projector, which is not terrible on HD channels. Just thought I may be missing an even better picture available.

Thanks for your help.
I did get in touch with Infocus customer service and they suggested the VESA to component adaptor, which I have now ordered.
Hope it helps.

I've connected the VESA to component adaptor and there is a slight improvement over the S-Video connection, although not real drastic.
Here's another question; I'm up to about 3,300 hours on the original bulb. Should I get another one for $300, or just get a new projector. I mean, this projector one was only about $900, after rebates, brand new.

The projector has a lamp usage tracker. You'll see it in the menu. I'm just wondering if the color wheel or something else will crap out right after I get a new bulb.
Do you think there are bulb upgrades that would improve the picture?
