There is no hdmi on my tv

Trying to set up Apple TV. TV does not have an hdmi, but Direct TV receiver does. Anyone know how to connect via Direct TV reciever, or can you? Or, MUST TV have an hdmi port?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You cannot connect the Apple Tv to the TV through DirecTV.
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

What cables are best when connecting apple tv, my HD tv has 2 HDMI slots but they are both in use, one for Sky and one for cinema. There are no hdmi slots spare on the cinema either ...

Mine has four Seriously shauntana the splitter is easy, a simple click to changre feed and eventually you will damage the HDMI port or cable by taking it in and out. True you can only use one feed at a time nut you can only use one port on the telly at one time too. I used it on my old one port telly for PS3 and Sky and it worked a treat.

I would like to watch videos on my tv from my mac, but no hdmi connection on my mac. Is there a usb/hdmi cable available to my mac?

I would like to connect my MacBook Pro to my tv to watch videos, but I only have a usb connection on the laptop. Is there an adapter to go from usb to hdmi for the mac?

You will need a cable such as this for video:
http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI-Adapter-Cable/dp/B003OC6LWM
This will be attached to the minidisplay port.
For audio, you will need a cable such as this:
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Audio-Cable-Splitter-1-Mini/dp/B00004Z5CP
This will be attached to the audio output port.
Ciao.

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

Is there a way to force A Mini to recognize the HDMI as a sound output.

Is there a way to force the Mac mini to recognize the HDMI as a sound output? I have the HDMI going through a matrix switch and the video works fine but the audio is not recognized. My Apple TV has no problem with both audio and video through the same set up to a tv.

Some general checking:
Open System Information found in Applications->Utilities.
On the left side under hardware, click Audio. In the right
pane, Expand items if necessary to reveal the contents and
see if there is an HDMI listing. If so, click on it to get additional
info.
Also, have you connected the Mini directly to the TV? Narrows down
if it is actually the Mini or just how the Mini is working with the
switch.
Another possibility is that there is a power up sequencing issue.
Ran into a situation with my Yamaha receiver, Mini, and Samsung TV
that if things were not powered in the right sequence I could only
get two channel audio and sometimes only internal audio. With my
setup, I needed to power up the TV (waiting for it to come up completely
showing the searching for signal box), power up the Yamaha, then finally
power up the Mini. Also, after all this, if anything was switched, I would
end up having to reboot the Mini to get audio the way it should be.

HT4614 Is there a Thunderbolt to HDMI adaptor for an external monitor?

I use a mid-2011 13" MacBook Air. My external Samsung Monitor (Synchmaster P2450) has started flickering. It might be the Belkin minidisplay port > HDMI adaptor or some conflict with Thunderbolt (same port). Should I invest in a new Belkin adaptor or is there a Thunderbolt>HDMI connector that might work?

That's interesting, because I have seen a few people post here regarding reliability of these connectors. I have a Belkin HDMI adapter, and have not had a problem with it. But, seeing that a few people have reported problems leads me to ponder the same question as yours.
I bought the Belkin more recently, as the one I originally purchased (a Kanex) didn't have audio support at the time I bought it, as the Macs didn't have it either. So I bought the Belkin when audio became fully supported by both Apple and the adapter makers. Both adapters still work without issue.

Lenovo V560-43422GU laptop - which wireless card and is there HDMI output

Regarding Lenovo V560-43422GU laptop:
(1) Is there an HDMI output? Lenovo sales rep says YES, but Bestbuy.com specs say NO.
(2) Which wireless card is included? Lenovo gave me a list of possibilities, but said the card is actually specific to each dealer/store. Please tell me which one of the following cards will be in the laptop if I buy it from Bestbuy.com.
Intel 6250
Intel 5150
Intel 6200
Intel 1000
Broadcom 4313
AR 9285

Very good questions with no precise answers online.
I see you already posted on the Lenovo forums and they do not have an answer for you right away I love how the tech says he will contact you in a FEW days... and it is their product. I had a smiliar situation with them and it took 3 days lol.
Again, I see you did your searching well... not a lot of information seems available.I guess physically seeing the computer can verifiy this.
Looking at image #4 on the Best Buy site shows there is an HDMI port, but it is covered.... and that concerns me especially when the SPECS say it does not have an HDMI port. I really do not see why it would not have an HDMI port available, even the lower lines of Lenovo z565 and b560 have them available.... it is almost becoming a standard now days for HDMI.

I will be at a Best Buy on Thursday.
If you do not get a reply back by then I will be there and physically check the machine for the HDMI and interally for the Wi-Fi card that is in there...
But hopefully you get a more informational reply before then =)
I will check back in on Thursday.
Let me know if you have any questions before then.
Good Luck to you.

Satellite A200-1AX: How to connect to the HDMI port of TV

Hi,
I own A200-1AX (PSAE6E) laptop, with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600. The video card has hardware support of high definition audio and video, but there is NO HDMI connector. I want to know, if there is any way to connect the laptop to the HDMI Input of the TV?
Thanks!

Yes it is very stupid situation but you must understand that every notebook manufacturer offer notebook with different hardware platform and different ports. Because of that it is very important to pick up info about all possibilities how to use the notebook with external devices.
Anyway bye and good luck.

No HDMI or Optical Audio on my TV - how to connect Apple TV

I am trying to set up my new 3rd generation Apple TV to a 1st generation HDTV that has only one HDMI input abd no optical audio inputs. The single HDMI input is connected to my cable box.
So what is the best work around for me to connect my Apple TV to mey TV?
thank you!

There are many HDMI switches out there. Any advice on which ones are best?
I cannot personally recommend one as I have no need to use one.
Read reviews for the ones in your price range.
Also, does the HDMI switch transmit audio?
It absolutely should but be sure to read the reviews and specs for the specific one you are purchasing. Like anything else, I am sure they are some junk switches out there.

Mac Mini Newbie + Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor. Need HDMI to DVI adapter? What cords needed?

Mac Mini Newbie here.
Getting the Viewsonic VX2450WM monitor for it. There is no HDMI on this monitor, but reviews said it's Mac mini compatible.
Do I need to get an additional cord? HDMI to DVI adapter cable? Does the supplied short white cord inside Mac Mini packaging suffice?
Thank you!

No, the HDMI on Mini only support digital VGA is analogue
Can the HDMI port drive analog displays (VGA displays for example) using adapters?
No. The HDMI port will drive digital connections—such as DVI—using the adapter that came with the Mac mini, but cannot be used for analog displays such as VGA. You can purchase a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter separately to drive analog displays.

Mini-HDMI Port: Video OK, sound only works for iTunes

Let me start by saying, I'm pretty new to Mac so please be gentle with your answers...
I just got a new HD Samsung TV and have connected it to my Macbook Pro through the Mini-HDMI port. There are two HDMI inputs on my TV, DVI and ARC. I'm using DVI. The video displays perfectly but I'm having a little trouble with sound.
Once I went to system preferences and switched the audio output method to "SAMSUNG - HDMI" my iTunes music began playing through the TV speakers. I played a .wmv video from my hard drive; sound and audio all worked well. However, when I attempt to play anything through the Internet, Youtube, Hulu, Pandora, no sound... I still get video, and if I switch the Output source back to "Internal Speakers - Built-In" there's no problem. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm using Google Chrome as my Internet Browser.
I've double/triple checked the sites to make sure the local audio levels aren't being muted, and that doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a setting somewhere that references only Internet, or more specifically, Google Chrome audio Output levels?
PLEASE HELP...
Thanks

The "Front" channel isn't the same thing as the front panel. From the ALSA wiki:
"Front, Surround, Center, LFE (subwoofer) and Side (these are the names of the channels with Intel HD Audio, they may vary with different hardware)."
How many sounds cards do you have?

What are the other HDMI devices? The video card?
And have you tried googling the problem?

HP Pavilion dv9218tx Notebook PC and HDMI audio problem with Sony TV and Windows 7

Sound does not come through with the HDMI connection and, on investigation, there is no HDMI audio driver/option.
Noting that there seemed to be an issue with windows 7 and HDMI audio which is addressed by updating the BIOS and the connexant sound driver I have done so to no effect.
The Sony TV is recognised as a standard monitor in the devices for graphics but not for audio
Suggestions as to why HDMI does not appear - including as a disabled service - and what to do t get is available?

Hello everyone,
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I will definitely assist you with lack of sound issues. Before anything else is done, please make sure you try every step in this thread: Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time
If every step does not help, please provide the following information:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
5. What steps have been attempted from my first post on this thread, and what were the results?
Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
Either way, let me know what happens. Thanks!

Apple TV not seen by Samsung DLP TV via HDMI input

I have a Samsung HL-R5677W. It's a few years old, but I decided to hook up the following via HDMI
- Playstation 3
- Apple TV
Since the Samsung only has one HDMI, I am using the Monster HDMI Advanced 3-way switcher switch that supports 3 inputs. And I purchased three 4' Ultra 600 High speed HDMI Monster cables ($100 ea.).
The playstation 3 works fine. However, my Apple TV is not being detected by the Samsung. The TV gives me a no or low signal message on the screen. So when I connect the Apple TV directly, the Samsung sees it (signal) and I get video and audio.
Your first thought is that it's the HDMI switcher switch, right!? Nope I unplugged the HDMI cable from the Samsung and plugged it into my Viewsonic N3251 LCD TV (vs11335-1m) and it detects the Playstation AND the Apple TV.... So it's not the HDMI switcher switch.
Oh, and BTW, the Apple TV works fine directly plugged into the Samsung....
Does the Samsung tv have a higher signal level requirement?
Is it the Samsung TV?
Is it the Apple TV?
Is there a better HDMI switch box and/or cable for me to use?
The next hurdle is getting the optical audio to work, if it's necessary. I want to play the audio through my A/V unit not just the TV.... Any suggestions?
Thanks

There have been many posts on HDMI switch boxes and problems these have. Do a search by entering "HDMI switch box" in the search box (upper right on this page) and look through the posts. That may help you.
As for the optical, can't you connect the optical cable directly to your A/V unit? I do that (with HDMI going to my TV) and that works. (I do have to switch off sound on the TV using its menu.)

There is no hdmi on my tv
