iPad to tv via RCA cord

So everyone knows how you can watch your downloaded movies off your ipOd on your tv wtih the 3 to 1 cord that goes into the headphone jack of the ipod.

How do you get this to work wtih the ipAd. I tried last night with videos i have stored, with the ABC app and with Netflix and none worked. Does anyone know how or why?

Thanks

ipad, Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The iPad uses the docking port to output video NOT the headphone port like older iPods.
The iPad is like the iPhone which also uses the docking port, you will need a new cable.

This provides VGA output, so you may need another cable to provide the correct VGA to TV connection.

You can connect iPad to your TV or a projector, and watch YouTube on the large screen. Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter, or other iPad-compatible cable.
