There are people who have problems with the AppleTV only giving component video?
First of all, it's moderately simple to convert component to RGB. You only need a few good operational amplifiers and some resistors.
Second, every analogue TV has component signals inside so you just need to cut some traces and feed it into it at the right place.
Third, you can probably just switch the encoder at the output of the box to RGB or composite. Just get the manual of the video encoder and send it the appropiate commands via the I2C bus.
And come on, this is an Apple product, it's not designed towards dummies, it's designed towards people who have a degree in electronics and informatics. It's the company philosophy since the Apple I.
What I however don't understand, the AppleTV seems to have VGA outputs, why do you need video then? VGA monitors of good quality are now considerably cheaper than TV monitors of the same quality.

Do I see this right here?
