i know this is a stupid question but how do you get the TV out to work? i have the 3 prong Ipod cable and i have the adapter that came with the touch pro... what am i missing??? i know the touch pro had the ability, but i never tried to use it. i was just bored today and wanted to see if i could get it working. any help would be great...

I bought the TV out cable from HTC. I got it on Ebay for 12.50 which includes free shipping. As far as your cable, I cannot help you and I am not sure it will even work.

i bought the htc cable ... use it a lot. today was coming home from a trip and streamed slingbox to the suv dvd system and watched football for 3 hours. 3 hours and not one glitch.

That is sweet, I cannot get my Slingbox to watch outside my home. I have tried all kinds of router settings with no luck.

i believe, from other threads in this tp2 forum, that you need to pull pin 4 from the adapter or cut the blue wire inside the adapter 4 it 2 be read as tv out instead of headset. search this forum (type "tp2 tv out")

i cant confirm, but others have.
