Looks like others have given you the answers. But, yes, I have connected my Pro to the TV and watched an entire season of Prison Break that way using Front Row.
As indicated, you don't use the
Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter that comes bundled with the Pro (in case you were wondering, that's what it is) - you use the
Apple DVI to Video Adapter instead (Part Number: M9267G/A).
Also, there doesn't seem to be a meaningful difference between the PAL version (Part Number: MA026ZM/A) and the other. I asked Apple Australia and they told me that the correct connector for Australia (a PAL country) was the Apple DVI to Video Adapter. I ordered that and have used it with no problems. As with most TVs, mine does PAL or NTSC and I can also output NTSC signals from the video card and that works just as well as PAL.
(Following your lead I worked out how to provide a persistent link to the right part - this link should continue to work for longer than my initial link did.)
