Watching iTunes movies on HDTV

I would like to watch iTunes movies on my flat-screen TV. The TV is a 60" Samsung LCD HDTV that includes HDMI, component, and S-video inputs.

My computer is a MacBook Pro that does not have HDMI, but it does have DVI output.

How do I go about setting this up?

Thanks
Eric

you could try with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter or cable but i'm not sure if this will work due to [ HDCP_|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_ContentProtection] restrictions.

instead, consider purchasing an [ TV|http://www.apple.com/appletv>. you can stream your existing content from iTunes on your MBP or you can rent content from the iTunes store right from the TV.
