How to hook-up dvi-to-hdmi

Hello,
when I hook my dvi-to-hdmi from pc to tv the tv says no signal. is there a program i need to make it work?

Did you make sure that your TV is set to the proper input?

Also, if this is for the TV to be a second monitor, then you have to enable the second port for your GPU in the companies control panel (i.e. nVidia or ATI).

yes on right input. i have laptop. i want to be able to watch videos from laptop on my tv

Well if its a laptop, then most have a button somewhere that enables the external display port.

I would look at your laptop manual and see if it has the info on how to do it.
