Can you hook up an ATV2 to standard def TV with adapters or cables?

What inputs does your TV have? HDMI is digital only and most common interfaces used in older TVs (SCART, S-video, VGA, composite...) are analog. Something like this would work but it's quite expensive, you could get a new TV for that price.

Yeeah, the tv has S-video and RCA jacks. That solution is way too much money...

If you haven't yet bought an Apple TV2, don't bother until you get a new TV.

There are other streaming solutions out there which will work with your TV, and which have analogue outputs, 90% of which will be cheaper than anything which would successfully convert the output of the AppleTV to be usable with your TV.

Or there's the original Apple TV, too.

I cringe just thinking about the television picture you have to deal with 🙁

Hey, I do have a 52" 1080p LCD in my living room, but I wanted to be able to use it in different rooms...

That sucks 🙁

I'd still just rather put the money towards a HDTV, they're really not expensive these days.
