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

Analog TVs, or non-HDTVs, are still numerous and popular. Not everyone has an HDTV yet, including students and young professionals who may have the older or newer unibody Macbook.

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

With the new Macbook there is presently no adapter that features an RCA or s-video output that hooks up to non-HD TVs. This means you will have to use an extra part to do a little more to make it all work.

After some thorough research I ascertained what it takes to hook a unibody Macbook to a non-HD TV. All it takes is one extra piece of equipment.

Without going in to a lot of technological infomation, the essential problem is that a non-HDTV functions on an analog signal and an HDTV functions on a digital signal.

It's not really complex, it merely requires an extra piece. This extra part
does not cost a lot of money, it is merely necessary to convert your Macbook's digital signal to an analog signal.

Depending on the type of Macbook you have, you will have one of two different video output ports on the side of your computer. The port will have a rectangle with a vertical bar on either side of it to signify a dsiplay, or monitor, port.

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