    Called Flip 2x, got 2 different answers...

    Hi I'm interested in the Flip UltraHD camcorder and when I called Flip customer service to ask whether videos from this camera could be seen on a regular TV, the first person said yes it can, with the TV cord that comes with it; you just won't see the HD resolution. I called back for something else and something told me to double check about that. This time when I asked I was told that there is no way to hook up the Flip UltraHD to a regular TV that does not have an HD port. 

     

    Does anybody know the real answer?

     

    Thanks,

    from the looks of it.. no you can not hook it up directly to a tv that does not have an HDMI port.. but the loop hole in being able to hook it up to a tv is if you have a laptop with S-video out on it.. you can hook the camera to the laptop then connect the laptop to the tv.. or you could just transfer the video to the laptop and hook it up to the tv.. then get an a single male end audio cable that splits to L and R audio so that you can get audio and video at the same time.. something like this..

     

    that would be about the only way to hook it up to a standard definition tv without HDMI..

    PS I found out that the only HD camcorder by Flip that can hook up to the regular TV as of now is the first generation 60 minute MinoHD
