HDMI to Component

I have a pretty nice rear projection HD TV (Mitsubishi 1080i) but it only has component connections!!! I know I need a HDMI to Component converter but there are not many out there for sale and I was hoping someone with some experience can point me in the right direction!

Thanks!

No sure which model Mitsubishi you have but my Mitsubishi model # WS65813 has a DVI connection that Im using. So it's HDMI from ATV to DVI to your TV for video and Optical audio out from ATV to Audio receiver for audio. Here's the cable you need for video (much cheaper than a converter).

This statement IS SIMPLY UNTRUE !

My NEC 42" Plasma has a single DVI input... I bought the Belkin HDMI to DVI cable from Apple Store and AppleTV 2 - works just fine (1080i) I also run a Toslink Digital Audio cable from AppleTV 2 to my AV Receiver (Yamaha) to obtain Dolby 5.1.

I understand that not all HDMI-DVI Video cables are compliant to AppleTV 2 requirement for HDMI v1.3c
(HDCP)
