Component to Composite Video (Apple TV)

I have just purchased a Apple TV as the user interface looks awesome.

The draw back of my other media players is that the user interfaces suck,
and were not really friendly for my partner to use, which she wants to do
especially when friends are in for music, photos, girly tv shows etc.

Went into the flagship Apple store in Glasgow today and could not resist
getting it, especially as there is a Xvid/DivX hack out for it, and also a
hack to use an external hard drive through the USB port which apple claim
"can only be used for servicing and upgrades by apple staff" -
how do you like these apples?? haha.

There is only a component video, and HDMI ports. At the moment I dont plan
on using the high def as I dont have a high def video switch for my house
yet and dont plan to get one unless the price becomes affordable.

How can I get this connected to my video switch with its composite video
ports, either by a passive cable, active adapter box, or even a home made
circuit.

Thanks Folks

Chris
