Greetings everyone!
I know that the topic of connecting an iPod to a TV is fairly old news, but I have written my own article on the subject, which you can view here.
Enjoy!

So, you just got your new shiny iPod Video. On top of that, you just loaded onto it your favorite TV Shows and Music Videos from the iTunes Music Store. But there’s a problem: No matter how sharp the iPod screen is, it’s still just too small. You could go out and buy Apple’s iPod AV Cable for $19.00. But there’s a better way to do this. What you’ll need is a standard 1/8th inch to RCA cable (the folks over at Electron Jon’s have one for $3.02. They also run about 5-6 dollars on eBay. Also, if you own a camcorder, you probably already have one of these, so check to see before you buy one.

Once you have the cable, go into your iPod’s Video Settings (under Videos), and change TV Out to either “On” or “Ask.”

Now comes the part where Apple thinks they were sooooo tricky. They switched a few wires. Don’t worry, we don’t need to change anything around on the cable. Here’s what you do: plug the 1/8th inch plug into your iPod. Now, plug the cable’s Yellow RCA plug into your TV’s White RCA plug. Then plug the cable’s Red RCA plug into your TV’s Yellow plug. And finally, the cable’s White plug goes into the TV’s Red Plug.

It’s as simple as that. Start playing your video, sit back, and relax.
