[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1290047, member: 56379"] Wrong wrong, wrong!:( There's no way you should be plugging the mini-display port part of that cable into the Firewire 400 port...whomever gave you this info should be SHOT!;) The firewire 400 port is a data transfer port...it has nothing to do with a video signal...which would obviously explain why you are not getting any video signal to your TV. You need to identify what ports are on your Powermac G5's video card...and then get the appropriate cable. Most likely your video card has a full-sized DVI port...so you will most likely need a DVI-HDMI cable. This is just an educated guess on my part since almost all Powermac G5 video cards had a DVI port on them. And just so you know...once you get the video signal to your TV figured out...you're probably going to need a 2nd cable if you want your Powermac G5's audio (sound) to come out of your TV's speakers.
