Connecting Macbook + Macbook Pro (late 2008) Unibody to HD TV (HDMI)

So many posts in forums about this 'question' I thought I'd try and add a little simplicity to the 'problem'

First of all you need to understand that The Mini Display port on your Macbook/Macbook Pro only transmits Video not audio. So hence a separate audio connection is required - via the headphone socket - and hence needs to be inputted into either your TV - if it can accept a separate audio to video signal or into a separate audio device - Like a 5.1 system or speaker system.

The cables required to achieve the video output are as follows:

Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

£20 from Apple Store either online or Retail store.

Then also from Apple Store either online or Retail store :

Belkin HDMI to DVI Cable - 6ft
£14.63

So in total £34.63 will get your video signal to your HD TV.
As for the Audio a standard 3.5mm phones jack to whatever connection is on your TV/Audio system is all that remains to be bought and connected.

If you want to spend a little more you could always get the Apple Remote (£15.00) so you can run Frontrow via your armchair/Sofa

Obviously if your looking at running your Macbook from the sofa in terms of surfing checking your email etc you could invest in a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Bluetooth Apple Keyboard and run the Macbook remotely - also this would enable you to run the Macbook in 'Clamshell' mode - eg: closed.

Well hope this helps let me know if you've any questions.
