    Doesnt need to be digital or a HDTV

    Written by GH from KIDLINGTON

    3/11/2007

    This cable works with any tv with a component (Red, Green, Blue) connection. This type of connection is entirely analog. whether you need a HD or SD tv depends on the ipod your using, for instance the iPod Classic outputs 480p therefore a HDTV is required, but an iPod Touch uses 480i which will work on a standard definition tv.
    Check your tv for the component connections (most hdtv's have them) and whether your tv supports the type of picture given by your ipod, (480i or 480p). p.s all tvs support 480i (576i in the US).     …More

    Simple

    Written by DT from Manchester

    Picture Quality - Great
    Soud Quality - Great
    Extra Charger Block - Good extra
    Remember - Only works with a HD TV so if you dont have one, dont buy it, simple as that.
    Music - Works perfectley with any Stereo
    But - First check the back of you HD TV if it has component plugs (Red, Green and Blue for pic) then the Red and White for sound, it will work, if you HD TV has a VGA, DVI or HDMi input it wont, but if it has the Red and White for sound you will be able to play sound but not picture. There is still hope in the form of converters to convert component to, VGA, HDMi or DVI.     …More

    For Digital Televisions only!

    Written by IR from Selsdon

    10/10/2007

    I bought myself a 160gb Apple ipod classic and after finding out the Av cable I has didn’t work for the classic I was advised to buy this cable.
    This one however only works on digital televisions, notice the different colours of the ports (red, blue and green). Rather than the Red, yellow and white that you usually have.
    Check you own TV first to make sure that it is compatible.

    Does not work with iPod Touch 3rd Generation (version 3.1.2 software)

    Written by MP from London

    8/12/2009

    I just bought one of these from HMV for my iPod touch (64gb) and then returned it to the store 6 hours later, disappointed.

    Upon removing the cable from the box I was impressed with the quality of this cable but when connecting it to the tv only the audio worked- absolutely no video. Was only once I started looking on this site it became obvious that for some reason this cable does not work with iPod Touch / iPhone software version 3.1.2

    When this glitch is fixed I'll be first in line to buy it (again). Until then, I'll use a 3.5mm to RCA cable to connect (albeit sound only) for a fraction of the price of this cable. Potentially a 5-star product, but for now I'm reluctant to even offer it 1-star as it doesn't work (yet).     …More

    Watch films on TV using your iphone

    Written by AD from Bristol

    6/12/2009

    I'm sure most iphone owners don't even realise that you can use the phone to download films and TV programmes that you can then watch in quite acceptable quality on TV. Even assistants in a local Apple Store were rather negative about the quality that would be achieved using the iphone and this lead. In fact:
    - PIcture quality on a 32inch TV is comparable with standard TV (not quite DVD quality)
    - Sound on TV or linked hifi is excellent
    - You can rent films from iTunes. Downloading can take a while but at least you don't have to rush to a store to take it back afterwards. You can also buys films and TV programmes.
    - On my 3GS BBC iplayer worked fine too but streamed picture quality not as good as TV.
    - As the lead does not rely on a dock you can leave most protective cases you might have for your iphone in place
    - So although the price sounds quite high, in fact given the functionality it is not too bad.
    - Just remember to check that your TV is compatible with the lead and the progressive scan output of the the 3GS (check iTunes Help for output and resolution from other ipod models, eg interlaced).     …More
