You don't necessarily have to use the official Apple AV cables, you'll defo get ripped off if you buy from Apple.
You can get the same cables quite cheap, I'd say somewhere between 2 - 4 UK Pounds from a shop like Maplin with absolutely no noticeable sacrifice of quailty. I think the shop in the USA is called Radio Shack or something but not sure what you guys have over there.
People don't seem to realize that these cables are general everyday AV equipment and should not be at all expensive.
Apple's website CLAIMS this dock supports video. However, I have tried 2 different universal docks. The older version apple sold 2 yrs ago has an S-video port. That one worked and supports video. I tried to use apples newer dock that requires their $30 AV cable and could not get video to go through to the TV. I tried on two different TV's using an iPhone 1st gen, an iPhone 3G, and a 160 gig iPod video. The results were alawys the same- S-vid dock worked, new universal dock is a piece of crap.
I've purchased the new version that's got a remote and more than 4 insets. It's soo cool.
Guys, if you don't want to buy it cause you think it's crap then that's not true. It has got endless possibilitys.
