Best Answer
There is no direct adapter for this use case. Your TV is ANALOG, the new Apple TV is HDMI and that is a purely DIGITAL output. There are some expensive digital to analog adapter boxes available, but with the $300 or so you would spend on that, I would recommend you spend that on a new HDTV that can take advantage of all the HD content out there (and connect to your new Apple TV)

I was told that you can buy an HDMI to RCA(this is the 3 colors)/VGA adapter. Not sure if it will work. I am going to buy one now and see if it works. Ill let you know if it does.
