just bought a 6450 for an HTPC
MSI R6450-MD1GD3/LP Radeon HD 6450
was wondering what the best way is to connect it to an old TV?
The TV only has s-video or the normal RCA composite (red yellow white) inputs
so far my research has led me to the following options:
Option 1
DVI to RCA

as suggested by another thread on this forum...However I dont think it will work with the 6450...
" This adapter is specifically designed to work only with the following ATI Video Cards:
All-In-Wonder 8500
All-In-Wonder 8500DV
Radeon 9500 series
Radeon 9550 series
Radeon 9600 series
Radeon 9700 series
Radeon 9800 series "
Option 2
VGA to RCA/Svideo

this is a converter which I think would work?
anyone have any luck with these?
Are there any other options out there?
will something like this work?

I know im not going to get great quality and text will be blurry on the TV but as long as movies and stuff are watchable its ok by me
THANKS for any help
