Take, for example, the PSP2TV. This device uses the signals going to the PSP's LCD screen and converts them to be displayed on the TV.

The same principle could be applied to any MPx player (or anything using an LCD screen for that matter). However, it would require in-depth knowledge of video signals, electronics and additional hardware & connectors to your MPx player.

Not really worth doing except for fun!!!

So you want to play the vids from your MPx player, but watch them on your TV? Why not just get a video card with s-video out, load the vids onto your PC and use that?
Or is it that you want it portable?

most bigger players generate the tv dignal internally as well as the lcd signals. so the 'extrenal' converter is usually nothing special, but for a player that does not do this, its going to take more money that the cost of the player multiplied a few times
