So I've had my macbook pro (new 13" unibody model) since mid-July and have run into one small bump.
I want to connect the laptop to a NON HD TUBE TV to project the video. Mostly for the purposes of watching movies.
I know there are many easy solutions if I have an HDTV, but I don't.
The apple store guy suggested to me a "Mini Display Port to DVI" a "DVI to video Adapter" then basic S - Video cable, but these adapters didn't fit together properly, which ended up costing me $60, and a day of unnecessary driving.
Can someone help me?
I know other people must be having the same problem...
Solutions anyone....
EDIT: I know I need separate cables for audio, I already have that taken care of.
