Apple TV Requires Neither High Def Nor Widescreen

Interesting scoop from Paul Kafasis: contrary to Apple’s stated requirements and many of the initial product reviews, Apple TV in fact works with TVs that are neither widescreen nor high definition, so long as they have component inputs.

Component input uses red, blue, and green cables for video; red and white for audio. Most regular (non-widescreen, non-HD) TVs sold in the past two or three years support this.
