so I have an Toshiba LCD TV with an HDMI port and I'd like to be able to play videos from the internet on my TV. I have a Macbook with a mini-dvi port so I bought a mini-dvi to HDMI adapter from Amazon and an HDMI cable from Best Buy. I also have an RCA cable for audio (which works fine). After hooking up the laptop to the TV using a multitude of combinations and restarts, all I get is a flickering blue screen on my laptop when I change the TV's input to HDMI. Nothing happens on my TV screen. Any ideas on what I should do to get video? I've read I need to mirror the display but the Arrangements tab doesn't show up on the Display menu so that option doesn't seem to be available. I've messed with resolution and numerous other things and have hit a wall.

Help please!
