Well, I wanted to connect my 6g to my tv, and thought it would be great if i could use a remote with it, so i got the apple dock down to the tv, connected the ipod to it, and used my  remote, and what do u know, it works, apparently the dock is powered by the ipod, not usb, i thought that was cool, i never knew that, so i can get my power pack and connect it to the dock, so my ipod will stay charged, and well, its a home-made apple tv.

Ingredients:
-ipod with video output
-tv
-cables for connecting to tv
-apple remote
-apple dock with infrared port (i have the latest dock with the small little rectangle infrared thing)

I think its great, only thing you dont get is the itunes music store, but, pretty neat idea for those who dont want to pull the extra cash on an  tv.
