Can't play on a TV
Our Downloads will play on any TV. My guess is you didn't buy the right cable, but Curtis will be in on Monday and he can help you further. Did you buy your cable directly from Apple?
Here is some information that may help you from our website in the meantime.
To watch your iPod/iPhone content on your television, you will have to purchase an option AV cable directly from Apple, the Apple Store or your local electronics retailer that carries genuine Apple products. This cable can vary depending on your model of iPod/iPhone, and it is important to purchase the correct one. You also must know if your television has component (preferable) or composite video input available before buying the cable. Make sure that if you have an iPod touch, iPhone, or newer nano or classic that you purchase a genuine Apple cable, because they contain a chip which enables video playback through the cable. If you use a third party cable, the video will not work. Here are links to Apple’s website for the different types of cables:

Once you have the correct cable in your possession, connect one end into your iPod/iPhone’s plug and the other into your television (match the colors of the cable plugs to the corresponding colors on the audio and video inputs on your TV).
