I purchased a Macbook 4,1 in June of 2008. Is my MacBook capable of being hooked up to my TV to watch my iTunes purchases?

Most likely...
What sort of input does your tv accept?

it looks great. straight digital all the way.

also if you listen to it through a surround sound receiver then you should throw one of these Toslink cables into your setup. they make them longer as well. i have the 12 foot. this allows you to get digital sound out of your headphone jack.

you could also use this to give you a female HDMI port on your Mac.

PTC is the company that makes that one.

there are other adapters.

this would work and then this to your tv.

however

Best Buy is always WAY overpriced for cables and computer parts. i would get the adapter with my gift certificate but go to Wal-Mart and get that $45 6 foot DVI to HDMI cable for like $20. i got the 12 foot Phillips DVI to HDMi at Wal-Mart for like $35.

good luck
