Got a TV without a VGA or DVI connection and I'm just wondering if/how I can connect a Mac Mini to the TV. Anyone got any ideas? No SVIdeo, just scart or composite connections.

An Apple DVI to Svideo adapter connected to a scart connector with Svideo input should do.

With Apple's DVI to video adaptor you can connect to composite video inputs. (This is the same adaptor that also has an S-Video connector, so it allows both for S-Video and composite output).

You want this. It has both S-Video *and* composite, so you can use it, even if you do not have S-Video....

LastLine won't need that, since the television in question accepts composite video connections.

All LastLine needs (aside from a composite video cable) is the adaptor shown in the photo graciously provided by mkrishnan. ;) :D
All help much appreciated guys :) Now all I need to do is convince the parents that a core solo mini would be great as a media center for the old TV - if only to try and get them the bug to bite for a full mac conversion on their old PCs
