I have a HDMI to Component (YPbPr) & R/L Stereo Audio Converter

Monoprice MYCH01
The TV works with DirecTV input to the converter, but not with Apple TV input to the converter.
Will this combination work or do I need something else?

I’m hopeless with technology so im hoping im reading this right.

So the apple tv will play on any older non HD TV? if so is it easy to do and what extra cables software do i need, if any? i think i just have the standard yellow, red and white ports, is that all i need or is there something else i need.

cheers and thanks for your help.

I can’t wait to try this out. I am ordering my Apple TV Later this month. I’m holding my breath and hoping Apple will release an update for the shopping season.

Thanks for the info!

https://www.svideo.com/appletv2tv.html
It converts the component output to a composite, which almost all older TV’s have. This is great news for those of us that don’t want to upgrade to HDTV yet!

If you connect the Green of the component from the Apple TV to the composite video in of your old TV (Normal AV in) and set the Apple TV to “480i” resolution (Which you can do by holding down the “menu” and the “+” on your remote) you will get the Apple TV to work in black and white. No good for movies, but if you are like me and just want it as a music library, it works fine.
