How can I connect my aluminum Macbook to a non-HD TV? I don't necessarily need to get sound.

What type of inputs does the TV have? VGA? DVI? or both?

You'll need an adapter to go from the mini port output on your aluminum MacBook to whatever input you decide to use on the TV.

As far as I know I only have the red, yellow, white plugs on my TV, what would the other ones look like?

If it's only ryw is it still possible? Someone on another site told me no.

You'll need a adapter which goes from the mini display port output (Apple cable) to a VGA cable which terminates in the three cables: Audio R, L and Video. Red, White, and Yellow.

You need two cables:

This is what the VGA cable looks like.

Apple adapter looks like this.
