Hi Mike, make sure you get the dvi to video composit adapter with the box and pins on one end, and at the other end, is an r c a plug for a television set. I believe the model number is m/9267 but Cheryl gave the information regarding this sometime back, but I did go to the apple store, and this adapter was $19.

I kind've wish apple would have told me about this when I talked to them but I probably should have asked also smiles.
