I recently bought a computer HP Media Center. I want to be able to hook this up to my plasma tv to use it as a Jukebox for all my music. The computer has a DVI monitor connector, and it also has a svideo out. I have tried to use the svideo option in the past on a plasma tv and it just comes out horrible? The audio is not a problem, just the video? I want it to look decent on the tv. My plasma has svideo & hdmi? Can I convert the hdmi to dvi ? What do you suggust?

YEs you can convert. Just buy an adapter. Try Radio Shack. make sure you get the right ends, male and female.
You need USB connections( in-puts) in order to do that. A lot of the new TVs have at least 2 USB in-puts & 2 HDMI in-puts, two different things for two different purposes.
Buy a DVI to hdmi cable.
