Apple TV and TV without HDMI input?

Hi,
I have a TV that doesn't have an HDMI input. I have an Apple TV connected to it using a HDMI-DVI convertor and everything seems to be working fine. When I download a movie and try watch it, it doesn't play. Could this be because the Apple TV is connected to the TV using the HDMI-DVI converter?
Kind Regards

yeah itunes movies require hdcp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection
some versions of dvi support that but if the version your tv has don't you're out of luck

    You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
    You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
    from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
    but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
    Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
    If this doesn't help, try it on another TV, if the problem persists you possibly have a failed unit.

  • How to connect Apple TV without HDMI input, what are my options?

    I don't have HDMI input on my TV, but I have RCA, RGB, S-Video, Audio input, and a few others. What options exist to make the Apple TV work and still get HD quality (aside from getting a new TV)?
    Thanks!

    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue (component, composite etc)
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will ideally need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3), although the Apple TV does have a number of 4:3 resolutions it supports, but these may not be available if the TV doesn't broadcast them.
    DAC
    Most types of HDMI to non HDMI connectors or converters won’t carry audio, in such cases you may also need to convert your optical output to an analogue signal using a DAC.

  • How do I connect Apple TV (3rd) to device without HDMI input?

    I am trying to connect my Apple TV to an inFocus 70+ projector.  The project has a "computer input" jack which resembles a DVI connector but is really a M1-D connection. It also has an s-video input and a composite video input.
      I purchased a HDMI to M1-D cable.  The picture is perfect; however, I cannot get any sound no matter was source I use (iPad, Apple TV, computer).
    What alternatives do I have to output audio from the Apple TV to external speakers?
    I like the Apple TV, but if I cannot get this to work, it really does not meet my needs.

    Presumably this input has never been able to accept audio only video ?
    If it is like DVI that would explain it as DVI is video only.
    Not really the AppleTV at fault IMO.
    You can take optical out from AppleTV and feed that to a home cinema amp or speakers with an optical input.  Alternatively for stereo get a cheap DAC and run the stereo feed to an amp/speakers.

  • Panasonic TV. Apple TV works with one HDMI input but not the other.

    I have the latest version of Apple Tv and an older Panasonic TX32LXD60 Tv. The TV has two HDMI inputs. Apple TV works perfectly on HDMI1, but shows nothing on HDMI2. I am using exactly the same cable. HDMI2 works fine with my DVD player. Can anyone explain how I can get HDMI2 to accept Apple TV?

    Update - Panasonic support wrote the following:
    "Thank you for your e-mail enquiry regarding your Panasonic product.
    I have discussed your issue with our head office AV technica ldept & they have confirmed that as the DVD player works on the HDMI input there is nothig wrong with the TV. It may be there is an incompatability with the apple TV interface & the TV. Nothing can be done to solve this as there would be not adjustments you could make to the HDMI inputs on the TV."
    so according to them its not their product!
    I have solved my problem by getting a Samsung TV - brilliant picture and no technical problems (so far!!)

    ...if i buy airport extreme, without connecting it to the internet, will it stream my films on itunes from the PC to apple TV?
    Yes. An Internet connection is not required. However, of course, the AirPort or your Apple TV will not be able to stream content from the Internet.

    Re: Apple TV connected to a Denon Receiver 
    Dec 16, 2012 10:59 PM (in response to dmercier)
    Ok.  I've answered my own question.  For anyone else with difficultites with a receiver, please read.
    1. HDMI connection has sound, so despite the manual's dirction that you need an optical cable for sound, this is incorrect.
    2. When connecting an HDMI cable from Apple TV to a receiver, you often need to "assign" the input on the receiver.  On my Denon AVR-590, I need to o under the menu settings, then assign the input to Apple TV.
    Example:  I have run the HDMI cable from Apple Tv to my receiver, HDMI input #2.  I then go the the menu option on the reciever and assin the HDMI #2 to being active.
    That's all I needed.  Hope this may help someone out there!  danny

  • HT202157 is it possible to connect an Apple TV and a Roku to your tv without first disconnecting one or the other?

    Is it possible to connect both an Apple TV and Roku without first disconnecting one or the other. In other words, connecting both devices to the tv simultaneously? I'm sure it depends on the number of ports, audio/tv available, and if so, do they make a splitter that would accomodate this???

  • How can i use apple tv and iTunes movies with component video cables for an older receiver and projector?

    i have an older yamaha receiver and projector both without hdmi inputs but component video instead. I would like to get apple tv and start renting movies through iTunes but apple tv only supports hdmi and ive read that iTunes has codes to prevent the use ot analog cables with movies. Is there a way to adapt hdmi to component video for both apple tv and iTunes easily?

    Yes, HDMI is the only supported method. Also, with converters you will run into issues with HDCP (which will prevent you from streaming DRM content from iTunes etc) as well as resolution.
