I would just use a standard VGA cable to your tv, then put the sound via a sandard audio cabe or optical if your tv will let you.. I have a HTPC and a very high spec samsung tv but have always had problems with pc to tv via hdmi cables.. VGA always gives a better pictue in my option

I forgot to say some TVs specify a HDMI port for PC use this may be your problem.. in my manual its HDMI3 but different tv make.
