Which model MacBook is this? Are you sure it is mini DVI?


DVI should convert to HDMI with just a cable. But the TV has to be On and paying attention to the right input, so that it can respond when the Mac asks essentially, "who's there?"


The reported Name and Capabilities are used to set the screen to proper timing and resolution.
