How would I connect my iPad to my tv?

[Oragami]

I have a 'cord thing' that came with a little video player that I have that let's me connect it to the tv, and I gave it a try with my iPad. It only worked for the audio, even when I tried the 'tvout' option in one of the apps I have that plays videos.

What sort of accessories or apps would I need to get this to work properly?

I think apple tv might work with the airplay feature but I am not 100 percent sure. Its also 99 bucks so thats a big downside.

Apple has a couple of adapters, depending on whether your tv has HDMI or composite inputs open.

Digital AV Adapter
Composite AV Cable

I don't want to spend that much money to put a video on my computer to my iPad and take to my moms to watch on her tv.

Yes, the composite adapter is what you want then. Beware, they are a bit expensive. There are other brands available that should do the same thing for less $$$, but I have not tried them. Like this one from Amazon:

Note that even $3 cables like the one at http://www.dealextreme.com/p/premiu...r-all-ipod-iphone-iphone-3g-1-52m-cable-24871 will work if and only if you jailbreak and install Resupported 4.

Is that all it has - that is, no red/green/blue plugs or, even better, HDMI or VGA sockets? The two latter would be the best in every respect: the cheapest cable, the best quality, AirPlay & mirroring etc.
