The Apple TV uses an hdmi connection but my tv only has scart, component and composite connectors and is a 720p display. So will the Apple TV work with my TV?
Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Yes it will, obviously you lose HD quality but a convertor can do the job.

according to the info on Macmanus.nl, the Apple TV 3 can be connected to a non-HDMI TV using a cable that seems like the ideal solution :
- it's elegant (the DAC-converter is integrated)
- it's tested to work
- it connects HDMI to component at 1080 and 720 resolutions
- it supports HDCP content also
- it's available on Amazon (in Europe for about 25 euros, so not extremely expensive)
- it does not need extra power (it's powered from the HDMI-port)
