1.  Most straightforward solution is to get an Amiga RF modulator that 
plugs into the DIN socket on the back of the A1000.  This provides a 
standard signal on channel 3 (I think) for your TV.
 
2.  If you have a VCR, you can go directly from the VIDEO RCA jack to 
the VIDEO IN on your VCR, then set the VCR input switch to LINE and get 
the added benefit of being able to record as well.

If you want to get an RF modulator, Jameco Electronics is selling modulators for
the 1000 for $2.95. They are brand new in the original box, and include a 10
foot RCA cable, a switch box for the TV, and the modulator itself. I picked one
up (just because of the price) and it works great. The cable alone is worth the
cost. Jameco's cust svc number is (415)592-8121. The part number is TVSBC. 
Unfortunately, if all you want is the modulator, they do have a $25.00 minimum
order.
