Hello...There are many of you mac/iphone hackers out there that are much savvier than I. I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the iPhone (3GS) to display my Slingplayer output to a TV via my dock and a/v cables. I'd like the popup option "Display on TV?" to come up just like it does when I play a video or movie from my 3GS.

Before you say this is useless, I'm thinking about the times when I'm in a hotel room out of the country without a laptop and I'd like to watch American television. While the quality won't be great, at least it would give me an option.

Any ideas? My phone is jailbroken via Redsn0w and I watch my Slingplayer via 3G or wifi thanks to 3G Unrestrictor.

Thanks for your collective thoughts!

Edit: I did find "TV Out" in Cydia today, but for some reason it only outputs the audio to the television. It could be because the app does not support landscape video at this time...not certain.
Update: It was my cable, not me. Still, TV Out and ScreenSplitr don't play nice with slingbox. Plays sideways and you can tell the image transfer is way too slow.
