Ever had that moment where someone asks you how to connect a Mac to a TV? It's not the simple answer you hope. There's about 8 different adapters which may or may not be needed, as well as several cables, all depending on what sort of Mac and what sort of TV you want to connect them to.

To keep my keen PHP skills in use, I made a little web app to produce a list of what you need. Try it out here - http://theducks.org/tvconnect

I suspect this is a question that you get asked more than most of us....

cool ap, but...

It should ask what mac you have first - that to me is more logical.

And there's a separate adapter for macbook pro's depending on whether you're connecting to NTSC or PAL :) So there's 2 model numbers! At least, there was when I bought mine...

Yeah, it was a product of how I first started thinking about writing it. I've changed it now to ask for the Mac first :)

This would've been useful ... TWO MONTHS AGO!!

I kid ... I did eventually connect my MacBook to the TV, with only two cable thingies.
