Apple Ipod Dock

Options
Hi,

Just wondered if anyone could let me know were I am going wrong here because I am driving myself potty trying to work it out!

I want to be able to watch the videos on my ipod nano 3rd generation on a television set. First I bought a AV cable, I think it is a composite one, 3 jacks red, yellow and white. I could hear the sound of the movie but no picture, then I noticed that there was a message to say I needed to be connected to a dock. So I have bought the apple ipod dock but still exactly the same, I can hear the sound but no picture :sad:

I hope someone can help me out here because i am really :confused:

    Hi,

    What dock did you buy. You need to ensure that it states clearly that it will output your Ipod nano to a tv.

    not so sure about a universal dock you would need to know that it was compatible with your particular generation of ipod. From what I can find you can get slight differences between the generations.

    It says that it is compatable with ipod nano 3rd generation, is there another dock then?
