All you need is an HDMI female to DVI male adaptor and a paperclip. You can buy both for under $5. If you plug your visual a/v cable to the green slot on the ATV you get b/w. What you need to do is work around the blue slot. Unwind your paperclip and connect one end to port 16 and the other end to 14 on the HDMI side of the adaptor. Wikipedia it if you want a good diagram. Plug the adaptor in. Remove the yellow visual cable from the back of the ATV. Wait 5-10 seconds. Plug the a/v cable back in. Remove the DVI plug. You should have color now. If you don’t then you weren’t getting metal to metal contact from 14 to 16. Try again. You have to do this every time you lose power, but it works fine and I have continuously upgraded.
