No signal connecting my laptop to my TV by HDMI cable

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect my laptop to my tv and I don't get any signal.

I have recently got a new laptop with onboard graphic card, INTEL HDM4500, which has HDMI output. I want to connect it to my TV to see HD movies. I have a Hitachi L32A01 LCD, with HDMI input.

When I connect my PC to my TV by DVI to HDMI cable it works. When I connect the laptop with the same cable to other LCD it also works. But, somehow, when I connect it to my TV I dont get any signal.

What could be the problem? Maybe compatibility issues between the graphic card and my TV?

I also have a receiver that has 2 hdmi inputs and one output, maybe it is useful? I thought maybe the HDMI to HDMI cable I have is not compatible with my TV, but when I connect my PC to the receiver and the receiver to the TV with the same cable it works fine. If the intel graphic card and my TV have compatibility issues, maybe if I will get another HDMI to HDMI cable and connect my laptop to my TV through the receiver it will work?

I afraid to buy a new cable and to find out it won't help. So, I will be very grateful for any advice.

thanks
