[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1290264, member: 24160"] 4 cables [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/search/dvi+to+hdmi"]here[/URL] - 3' to 15' - or approx 1 meter to 5 meters. Check for similar at Amazon UK. If you're attempting to take sound to the TV, an optical cable will not work. I have not seen a single TV by any manufacturer that allows for a separate optical port to work in conjunction with HDMI. You really need to look up the manual for your TV to see what it says about using any HDMI port with separate audio. Every TV and manufacturer handle this differently and some not at all.
