I connected Apple TV 2 to my Dell 30" monitor (old version) with DVI to HDMI cable. The monitor doesn't get any signals. Any help?
There is no signal on my screen 😟.

Monitor would need to support 720p input and also be HDCP compliant.
DVI to HDMI is not officially supported.

So, I can't use it with my Dell monitor? 😟
There's nothing I can do about it?

I can't say for certain, but Apple have stated apparently that DVI is not supported - things might work but no guarantee.
Does the monitor have some kind of configurable input resolution or Auto switch to try?
If it's a 30" monitor what's the panel resolution?
AppleTV only outputs 720p so if the monitor can't display that input you'd be stuck.
HDCP is only theoretically needed for playback of rentals/protected iTunes content but still might cause issues.
HDCP is a pain in the neck. I have some purchased HD stuff I can't view on my MacPro on my Samsung monitor bevause the connection does not support copy protection.

I actually have no idea what the model of my 30" monitor from DELL is called. I bought it around 2007-2008. It has no switches to the exterior. When I plug it, the monitor doesn't recognize anything so it just goes back to sleep mode. I think it's this one: http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_Widescreen_UltraSharp_3007WFP/4505-3174_7-31645040. html?tag=rb_content;rb_mtx
The resolution I have is 2560 x 1600px.
No hope for me? 😟
not apart from random trying other converters
and putting the atv in a res you know 100% that the monitor can display
