Hello, I was wondering how i'd hook my macbook up to a regular tv (for my bedroom) and a HD tv for when I'm around my dads.

what kind of cables and such will I need? will I need to add ports or something?

Please help.

Which MacBook have you got (Unibody or previous gen?).

If it's a Unibody MacBook then you'll need a MiniDisplay port to XXXX adaptor (this will either be VGA, DVI, Componant...all depending on you TV's inputs)

If it's a previous gen MacBook (white or black) you'll need a MiniDVI to XXX adaptor.
