Just came across this item to convert Component to Composite (s-video).

S-Video is another option, but RGB will give a better picture. Plus the one at the top of the thread allows you to channel the audio down the scart as well.

Too bad it is not shipping yet (the US one... scarts are not usually found here).  I'd been holding off buying an appleTV because I didn't want to buy a new TV.  Problem solved (eventually).

The Apple TV has a ATI X1900 XT video card. So maybe this will work (the $49 solution 🙂:

HDMI to DVI adapter

And attach to this: 

Apple DVI to video adapter (works with the ATI X1900 XT card):

Are you sure it has an ATI chip? I could have sworn it had something from NVidea or something, you could be right though.

The whole HDMI > DVI > Video conversion thing seems a little clumsy, and I fail to see how it would work if the signal coming out the DVI converter was digital, which it must be if connecting through HDMI...

I have ordered the cable from svideo mentioned in an earlier post.  It is supposed to ship the end of this month.  Once I have tried it with an AppleTV and Beovision Avant, I will post my comments.
