Behold. Apple TV using a composite monitor.

Not great for TV watching, but excellent for testing out an Apple TV box during modding.

Just by mistake, I found a way to make this hack work in full color!
Figured i'd try to make a video out of it (spare me the pain of publishing a tutorial... still, it's a 3-step thing)

Basically, its tricking the Apple tv by switching HDMI and Composite in mid-resolution adjustment.
