New Mac's to TV

I'll be getting the newer 2009 Macbook tommorrow and was wondering how to hook it up to my tv at my apartment. I've looked at a few different forums and posts on the subject but all of them mention HDTV'S. The tv I have is an older style tv that only has the rca and coaxial inputs on it. The Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter looks like it's what I need but the Apple site says it doesn't work with the newer Macbook that came out January 2009. If you guys know what adapter will work I'd really appreciate any info. Incase it matters I'm planning on using it to watch shows off Hulu and after I get a seperate keyboard to type notes after class while sitting in the recliner. Thanks in advance.

It has a mini display port.

So it will work with the newer model Macbooks?

If your TV has the single rca input (composite video) then Apple Stores have the adaptor, mini dvi to rca.

But, you are not going to be happy with the resolution on the TV. It will be a crummy picture.
