Sorry, that won't work because the miniDP->VGA adapter does not have nhe needed analog signals. The only known way to do this is with a VGA->S-Video/Composite Scan Converter. Apple dropped all support for S-Video/Composite when they went with miniDP.2 adapters. A Mini Displayport to VGA adapter, then a VGA to RCA adapter.

ok so what can I adapt miniDP to? I'd like to hook my computer up to my television and it's an old television. the only inputs on it are RCA and coaxial.
By the sounds of things you'd be better off buying a newer TV as a scan-line converter will be expensive!
The original question was about the Mini DisplayPort connector on the new MB/MBP/MBA. The link that you showed is for the Mini DVI connector on the older units, and it works fine on those models.can someone explain why this wouldn't work?

I guess a friend of my girlfriend bought it for her new macbook and it works, but that does not make sense when everyone is saying you need a special converter.
can someone give me the scoop?

or a DTV converter box. I'm sure one of them is bound to have digital input. Does anyone know if this could work? is there a DTV convector box with a compatible digital input for the miniDP?
if the signal is coming through a coaxial antenna - doesn't that mean I can just adapt the miniDP to a coaxial? I know that RCA/coax cables can carry a digital audio signal through s/pdif...
I hear ya. Consider:for the record,
I am sad.
i would try 2 different adapters. 1) mini display to dvi. 2) dvi to rca. this should work.
