There is a guide about how to download TV show for free, put DVD video to iPod, TV show on iPod, and play iPod on TV without Apple TV.
It includes four parts:
Here is the official site to free download: http://www.daniusoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-suite.html#115
And the official guide to help you convert dvd video to ipod: http://www.daniusoft.com/tutorial/ipod-guide.html#115
Step 2, simply plug one end of the cable into the headphones port on iPod and the other end into TV. There is a little problem to plug the composite video into TV because you can't plug it in like you normally do.
Here is the diagram helps explain what cables go where in TV.
In fact, the plugs on TV will be in this order: Red, White, yellow. Plug the cables in this order: yellow, White, Red. Now you've got the cable set up.
Step 3 , set iPod on TV up. Don’t worry, it doesn't hack the iPod and everything goes safe. From the main screen of your iPod, go to 'Video' -> 'Video Settings'. Scroll to TV Out and make it 'Ask' instead of 'Off'.Then, 1) Scroll down to TV Signal and make sure its NTSC if you live in North America/Japan or PAL if you live anywhere else.
2) So after you've set iPod on TV up, back out to Video menu and go pick an iPod video to watch. I chose an episode of Family guy protect Lois Hi.
3) Before the video starts, select 'TV On' , turn on TV and go to wherever you go when you use your video games, VCR, etc.
It includes four parts:
Part one: How to download TV show for free.
Part two: How to put TV show on iPod.
Part three: Where to download free movie for iPod.
Part four: Play iPod on TV without Apple TV.
For iPod users, you can buy one episode at a time or a whole season from the iTunes Store and you can watch on your iPod, computer, or widescreen TV using Apple TV, but it cost $1.99. If you feel it's trouble to download TV show from iTunes, you can follow this guide to download TV show for free.Here's a quick video tutorial on how to download TV shows for free: http://www.cucirca.com/2007/12/28/how-to-download-tv-shows/.
After download TV show on your PC, please take your time to put TV shows to iPod, coz iPod can only play MP4 and H.264 video, but many TV show play as AVI format, even some shows plays with BETA and World Cup play as HDTV, so you need some thirty part software to help you rip DVD and convert video to MP4 video, and then sync it to iPod via iTunes. I highly recommend the Daniusoft DVD to iPod Suite, it can easily convert DVD to iPod video & audio formats (as MP4, M4V, MP3, AAC, and M4A); convert video formats (including AVI, MP4, MPEG, WMV, XviD, H.264, DAT, MOV, ASF and FLV, etc.) to iPod MP4, MPEG-4, M4V, MP3, AAC, and M4A to iPod touch/ Nano/ Classic with high quality.
Here is the official site to free download: http://www.daniusoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-suite.html#115
And the official guide to help you convert dvd video to ipod: http://www.daniusoft.com/tutorial/ipod-guide.html#115
You just need to Install and run it, click 'Load DVD' to import DVD or click 'Load file' to add video file (or TV shows). If you don't want to convert the whole DVD, you can click 'trim' to cut segment you like. DVD regular have many chapters, if you want to join them into one file, you can pitch on 'Merge into one file', and your iPod can display only one image of whole movie as in music.But don't forget that it's legal convert DVD to iPod for personally not any commercial purposes.
There are some free movie websites for movie fans to download movie for iPod and other players.
ShowStash(http://www.showstash.com/): Lots of popular TV shows, cartoons, etc.Mefeedia(http://www.mefeedia.com/): 'Find thousands of video blogs (video podcasts), and watch them on your computer, video iPod or PSP.'The Internet Movie Database (http://www.imdb.com/): Movie reviews, information about upcoming movie premieres, movie clips, and more.Free Public Domain Movies and Documentaries (http://www.jonhs.net/freemovies/): Free movies and more, all available for free download.iFilm(http://www.ifilm.com/): One of my favorite places on the Web for great videos, trailers, etc.Most of downloaded movies are AVI file, you can use Videora or Daniusoft DVD to iPod Suite to convert AVI video to iPod video.
This part is about how to play iPod on TV without Apple TV. As you know, Apple TV is a connector which allows you to stream media files from your computer and view iPod video on TV. You can also store the media files on the unit's hard drive, but the current price of the unit is $300 more or less. So, the article helps you play iPod on TV so you can watch iPod video on TV for free. And you also can watch the video here to know more Why Apple TV is pointless if you've got an iPod.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXd66cNZYD4.It just includes three steps:

Step 2, simply plug one end of the cable into the headphones port on iPod and the other end into TV. There is a little problem to plug the composite video into TV because you can't plug it in like you normally do.

iPod nano 4th vs Creative Zen X-Fi, which mp3 player better?
iPod nano 4th:
In contrast to last year's compacted design, the Nano has been stretched back to the candybar footprint of its first and second generations. Apple's fourth-generation iPod Nano returns to the original long, light, and slender formula that put the series on the map.
Creative Zen X-Fi:
Creative's newest flagship product is the Zen X-Fi, a high-capacity flash-based digital media player that adds Xtreme Fidelity (X-Fi) sound technology. But with added wireless features and X-Fi sound enhancement. Will this be enough, though, to satisfy the Zen fans who have been patiently waiting for Creative's latest addition to the family?

Features comparision of iPod nano 4th vs Creative Zen X-Fi:
iPod nano 4th Key Features
1.New Genius feature
you can create an instant 25-song playlists based around the musical characteristics of a single song. The Genius feature is easy to use, and the results are fun, provided your music collection holds enough songs to make interesting connections.
2.Adds the same tilt-sensor
It allows for some interesting control tricks. Giving the iPod Nano a vigorous shake, for instance, puts the music player into shuffle mode. Causal shaking caused by running or exercising isn't enough to trigger the Nano's shuffle mode, and you can always deactivate the shake-to-shuffle feature under the iPod's setting menu or by engaging the hold switch.
3.Cover Flow music view
iPod's Cover Flow music view when turning the device on its side. We found it a little confusing to use the iPod's scroll wheel controls while holding the player sideways for video playback. You get accustomed to it, but it seems like an inelegant design solution coming from a interface-savvy company like Apple.
4.Easier to make voice recordings
Apple makes it easier to make voice recordings on the fourth-generation iPod Nano by allowing microphone input through its headphone jack. You'll have to shell out for an Apple-approved headset.

Creative Zen X-Fi Key Features
1.Photo Viewer
Nothing has changed from the previous Zen players on the photo viewing side. You can easily browse photos in folders, lists, and thumbnails. You are also able to create and view slide shows to music.
2.Radio
Radio reception is poor. The autoscan feature is great, but it only picks up three stations where other players will pick up more than eight. A radio station I am only a few miles away from has static at times, which is totally unacceptable.
3.Voice Recording
Voice recording is the same as what is found on the Zen; files are saved as low quality WAV files. To use this as a voice note taker, you can easily map the short cut button to record quickly.
4.Organizer
The organizer feature remains the same as the previous Zen organizers. Using the Creative’s media player you can sync your contacts, calendar, and to-do list with Outlook or Windows Contacts.

5.Wireless Features
This section applies only to 16GB and 32GB Zen X-Fi models.
The Zen X-Fi is Creative's first player ever to have built-in wireless features (802.11b/g with WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK security). The capabilities are rudimentary compared to other wireless-enabled DAPs with web browsers, but it's nice for streaming and downloading content from the Creative media server (Creative MediaBox) or one you have at home.

6.Convert DVD Video to Creative zen X-Fi

So you can convert DVD to creative zen with DVD to Creative Zen Converter, the same as DVD to iPod Converter, it's a software which can convert DVD to Creative Zen video including AVI, WMV, MPEG that fits for Creative Zen and also convert DVD to Creative Zen audio MP3, WMA, WAV with excellent quality.

Creative Zen X-Fi Box contents
Zen X-Fi, short USB 2.0 cable, mini software CD, quick start guides and other paperwork, and Creative EP-830 noise-isolating IEMs with three sizes of silicone tips. Additional accessories, such as an armband, leather case, and TravelSound speakers, are available separately.
iPod nano 4th Box contents
Conclusion:
Zen X-Fi is marketed as "the sound of perfection". It is the company's best-sounding player to date and it does sound undeniably great, but really only when X-Fi, its most lauded feature, is disabled. Most of the other features unique to the Zen X-Fi are gimmicky at best, and the new controls do nothing but clutter an otherwise attractive player.
The iPod Nano 4G's Genius playlists, shake-to-shuffle, and improved voice recording compatibility are fun features to have, but they're not worth $150-$200. But if you've filled up your 4GB third-generation Nano and want some extra room or if you need the additional accessibility features such as enlarged screen font and text-to-speech, the fourth-generation iPod Nano is an ideal choice.
