How to stream Netflix to TV on my MacPro

I don't think I have a clue. I plugged a cable from my dual video card to my TV using the hdmi port on my TV. I can see the movie but no sound. What do I need to do?

Mac Pro 2.66 5gb ram, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Well your best bet may be to get a DVI to VGA cable, and then just also use the mini audio cable you linked to before.

Then hook in here:

Yes, I think that is probably the best bet... or the Roku...

The Roku is the best choice if you have a HDTV, which most all are now sold this way.

As the content switches over to pure HDTV, your set with the Roku, also it's a seperate device, not tying up the MacPro for streaming Netflix with another show or other use.

well VGA "connectors" can give much higher than typical VGA "signals", so she should still get a good quality picture.....maybe not as good as DVI-D, but pretty good.....
