Brad, thanks for your advice. But next question (I'm an amateur but probably didn't need to tell you that) is which HDMI cable is ok for the xoom: e.g. 3m HDMI to Micro-HDMI Cable (Type-A HDMI to Type-D HDMI) is an example of an ebay offer, and then there re others that say MICRO HDMI Type D to STANDARD HDMI Type A - 4.5m Cable. These in Australia range from $21 to $59. I really appreciate your sharing your expertise. What is going to work?

Type A is the standard size HDMI port (TV) and Type D is the micro port (phone/tablet). So you would need a Type A male to Type D male which is the same thing as a standard HDMI to micro HDMI cable.

Here is an example:

That's actually a 10 foot cable. Standard is a 6 foot.

The issue is probably lack of HDCP support. Not all DVI ports fully support HDCP, and i'd suspect that with your TV this is the case. I believe the connection between the Xoom and the TV requires HDCP support.

Here's a little article explaining the issue:

try taking a look at this.

If you have DVI instead of a VGA on your TV you can pick up a converter just about anywhere! They are easy to find
