[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1144671, member: 24160"] You've got the right idea, but I'm about to save you some money here. [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10231&cs_id=1023104"]HDMI to DVI cable[/URL]- $3 to $6 depending on length - it is HDCP compliant, so you should not have an issue [URL="http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&p_id=6884&seq=1&format=2"]Optical to RCA converter[/URL] - $26 Check the reviews, the latest one is using with their ATV2. Should be <$40 incl'g shipping. (You won't be inclined to buy cables anywhere else without checking monoprice after this. ;D) Edit: cable correction made I do not have an ATV to test, but I see no reason to believe the HDMI to DVI won't work as it does on any other HDMI port. Apple techs are typically not that knowledgeable regarding cabling in my experience. I would advise that you open the manual for the TV and verify the resolutions the TV will accept through the DVI port to alleviate any disappointment. PC inputs from TVs during that time frame, quite often did not have a full range of resolutions available. I would think that it's going to need to accept a 1280x720 or you may not get a picture.
