    You would need to disable the Fairplay DRM, which we can't discuss here. Thus your only options are 1) use your ipod+video out cables 2)buy an apple tv.

    the iPod audio/video cable, or you could just use s-video/VGA/hdmi to connect your laptop to the tv as well.

    If you have a laptop that is probably the best way.... just check what your TV video sources will except, then get the adaptor that harper suggested (direct from applestore).
    The added bonus is that if you have an touch or iphone, you can use it at a wireless remote.
    Oh and don't for get audio. A cheap 3.5 headphone to RCA (red/white) cable should set u back $2-3.
