Hello all! I have a 2009 17' MacBook Pro... There is an event on PPV this weekend.....I am going to order the event on my MacBook because it is not offered through my satellite provider, yet it is offered on "cable" mobile devices/pc's/tablets....Yet I want to watch it on my tv(LG 47inch LA6200) is it possible to do so and if so, how? What will I need to purchase(cord/adapter) in order to view it on my tv via my MacBook Pro? Thanks in advance!

Hey drexfarrakhan,



Thanks for the question. For video, you can use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable or adapter. Our online store has a few offerings:


Mini DisplayPort to HDMI - Apple Store (U.S.)

However, your MacBook only supports video out via this connection:

So you’ll need an external stereo or speakers to output the sound to, using the headphone out port and a 3.5mm cable (or adapter, if needed):
