How To Connect Your New Macbook To Your TV

If you own one of Apple's latest Macbooks you may have already observed, with some bewilderment and frustration, that there doesn't appear to be a easy means to hook it up to a tv that is not an HDTV.

A lot individuals out there (myself included) don't own an HDTV, yet still want to watch Hulu or Netflix or YouTube on a TV screen from a Macbook.

With the new Macbook there is currently no adapter that provides an RCA or s-video output that hooks up to non-HD TVs.

After some thorough inquiry I ascertained what it takes to hook a unibody Macbook to a non-HD television. All it takes is one additional component of equipment.

Without going in to a lot of technical detail, the essential trouble is that a non-HDTV functions on an analog signal and an HDTV functions on a digital signal.

It's not really complex, it just requires an extra component.

Depending on the type of Macbook you own, you will have one of two different video output ports on the side of your computer.

The newer Macbooks have a Mini Displayport video output on the edge. The later style of Macbook will have a Mini DVI port. Each of these models will need an adapter and some cables to be able to connect to your TV, but the newer Macbook will call for something extra.
