    Default iPod on TV Screen?

    Is there anyway to view the music screen from an ipod onto a tv screen? So basically when you hook up your ipod to a tv, you see this?



    I can view movies right now but whenever I go to the menu, the screen turns black. I was wondering if there is some sort of adapter or hack I can do to be able to view the music playlist/menu on the screen.

    I'm actually trying this in my car. The quality actually isn't too bad. Not movie theater quality but it's pretty decent.

    Have you tried pressing up, up, down, down, left, right, right , then turning it off........I heard this unlocks a new menu if you hold your mouth right.

    What cable are you using? The one I got plugs into the ipod itself and then has 3 RCAs; 1 video and 2 stereo. The video works fine, it's just when I try to change to the music menu that the screen turns black.
