Re: How did you get the tv out/video out to work on the touch pro 2?

Use it to watch Slingplayer on my Navigation system AUX input, very important when you don't want to miss those important sporting events.
This worked perfectly for me with the same adapter from my old Diamond... Cracked it open, cut the blue wire (Why? What is the blue wire? I only cut it because it said to here)... Plugged in a 3.5mm AV cable from my video camera into the 3.5mm port on the adapter, plugged yellow into red, red into yellow on the tv (And then later on my receiver), and it worked great! The TP2 switched into TV mode instantly (First time asking me if I wanted PAL or NTSC output), and I was able to look at pictures, videos, youtube, etc. Some rips of my Futurama DVD's looked great on a 42" tv.

If you have the adapter from an old Diamond, use that and save a few bucks.

Unfortunately, once you crack the adapter open, it won't snap back together again... I put some tape on temporarily, but will probably glue it later.

Only downside to this is the size of the adapter... but hard to beat "free".
