How to play split screen on minecraft xbox 360 edition without an HDTV?

I love minecraft and would like to play it with my friends who are too lazy to get xbox live. Is there any way I can play split screen without having an HDTV? Like a cord or something?

You need the super electric cord which will input and output super nova energy which can be used to annihilate an entire planet. This will unfortunately give you as little as 480p signal.
