Mini display port to HDMI problem

I have my aluminum Macbook perfectly wired up to my 32 inch RCA HDTV. Nothing will come up on the screen, I've tried detect display, I've tried restarting the computer, unplugging and plugging back in then detect display, turned the tv of and on, but nothing is working. I am currently running Snow Leopard, but when I was on Leopard this process of attaching the TV to the computer just took about 10 minutes of doing desultory processes that I've already described. Any suggestions on how to make it work the first time?

Early 2009 Aluminum Macbook, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Too bad there isn't a 59-page long thread where we can talk about our dead third-party adapters. Oh wait...

Do you actually have a point or are you specializing in innuendo this week?

Do you actually have any advice for those of us that come here looking for help, or are you just making noise?

Why don't you take your innuendo and barbed sarcasm and ........

Read the thread if you want to see my advice, I am not your research assistant.

I've been following along for the last year, so I'm good. But best of luck with your "points" and thanks for the value you have provided to the community.
