What cable would get me the best result?
I just order the 27' iMac 2011 and wanted to know if I can take advantage of the thunderbolt ports on the iMac by connecting my HDTV directly to the thunderbolt ports some how.
Or is there Thunderbolt to HDMI converter?- Asked by Glen O from Koondoola

Best Answer
Thunderbolt is mainly a standard for data transfer. If you are connecting only one display, there is no benefit over DisplayPort, and, in fact, the thunderbolt cable is really only using the DisplayPort standard.
If you would like to connect it to your iMac to your TV, you can use either a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable, or you can get a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable to either extend or mirror your iMac's display onto your television.
If you would like to truly take advantage of thunderbolt, I suggest buying a Promise Pegasus 4TB RAID system from Apple, it will let you see just how fast thunderbolt really is.- Answered by Alex H from Cedar Rapids

Can this cable be used to connect Apple TV to Sky+ HD box?
I have an old TV, with no HDMI input. I would very much like to get an Apple TV box. However, I cannot connect an Apple TV to my TV as it has no HDMI inputs.
However, I have a SKY+ HD box connected to the TV, which does has a HDMI port.

Answer
You could burn DVDs, but because Sony and Apple are separate companies there is probably no other official way to do this. However, there may be some 3rd-party extension or app that could enable this type of playback, but Google around for those (I don't know of any) because the best way to do this from what I know is to burn CDs for music and DVDs for the movies.
