You'd still need to route the audio...
...and there's be no way to play copy-protected content (HDCP) such as iTunes rentals or purchases.

thanks
Thanks everyone! Hmmm, the inability to play protected content on a device meant almost solely for renting said content is something I'll need to think about before making a purchase. Thanks for the heads-up.
If my TV has no optical in for audio can I route it in through component? Not sure I know what I am talking about so here is a picture of my TV inputs.

audio
So I can hook up the atv to my tv with a HDMI>DVI cable for picture which works fine for me. For the audio I'll have to use the optical out (TOSLink, right?), is there a cable that goes from optical to analog right and left (red and white)? I can't seem to find one online... I don't have a separate speaker system, just want to use the inputs on my tv.

you would need a converter such as one like this

use hdmi converter to DVI
use optical converter to analogue DVI in
Should work, but no promises!
