My old ipod crashed for a fourth time last month, and BestBuy gave me a full credit under my extended warranty yesterday - 3 months short of it expiring! ^ I used the credit to get a 16g ipod touch. So far I like it, except when I try to dock it and play my videos on my TV, I get sound but no picture.

Apple CS told me I must use their universal docking station (I have Dynex right now) and apple cables -composite or component.

Before I shell out the extra $100 ($50 for the docking station and $50 for the cables) can anyone tell me if it is really necessary? Has anyone docked with another brand?

If I do have to purchase cables which ones would be better? I have a Sony Wega LCD tv.

Thanks in advance.
