Default [Q] AV Output possible?

I jailbroke my mytouch 3g aka htc magic and was running cyanogen6.1, originally with amon ra's recovery but then switched to clockwork for ROM manager.

It was running pretty crappy after owning it for a year and dropping it a lot, so I hit up tmobile for my upgrade and they told me that the hd7 could do video out, and that her husband had done it.

I've been searching for the past two days trying to find anything about it and nothing. I talked to tmobile a few times and a few people at htc. One person at htc said that it would have to be a docking station type thing with the microusb (to connect to phone) and a 120v us power plug, and an hdmi out. I asked if he knew if they existed with rca outs and he said yes but harder to find. I can't find rca or hdmi outs on any docking stations for this phone. Does anyone have any intel on this?

Thanks.

Default Seriously?

No replies at all? I can't be the only one that wants video out capability. Maybe because I started with my xda background of rooting my mytouch people stopped reading.

I want to know how to video out of my hd7. Audio is obviously easy enough. 3.5mm to split rca or whichever you want. But will a microusb to hdmi work? Can you get a microusb to a single yellow RCA? Was the htc guy right that you have to have a docking station? Docking station seems like a good idea either way because the main reason I would want this is to watch netflix and freinds houses that don't have internet and such. Docking station would hopefully give you the ability to charge the phone and video out at the same time.

Any replies would be appreciated.

What about just using a microusb to hdmi cable to connect to a tv with an hdmi in. Would the phone automatically know to transmit video signal across the microusb or is there an app that could manage that in existence yet?

Also, has anyone heard of the docking station the htc guy referred to that has a 120v us plug and has the ability to charge the phone and transmit video via hdmi output from docking station, at the same time?

I just returned the phone and am going to go with the new G2X instead, but this info could still be helpful to some.
