Mac Mini and HDTV

I recently received a late 2007 mac mini as a hand me down from my parents and I'm trying to hook it up to a Sony HDTV via HDMI to DVI cable. I bought the cables I needed and attempted to set it up, however when I turn on the system nothing appears on the display. I've been searching posts and various forums, but haven't really made any progress because most troubleshooting guides are focused upon display problems like pixels and refreshes.

Unfortunately I don't have a VGA monitor to use (which is what the mini was previously used on) to try and see if that works.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
 
Do you turn on your HDTV first or do you turn on your computer first? I know some HD displays have problems syncing with video sources connected via HDMI and those problems are usually resolved if the display is turned on *before* the video source.

Are you going from DVI on the Mac-mini to HDMI on the HDTV? Something else to look into is whether or not there are any HDCP issues involved.

Peace...
 
You _did_ select the correct HDMI port on your TV, though? Just asking. HDCP issues: Can't be that. The Mac mini 2007 doesn't have that, anyway.
