re:

1. Buy an hdmi cable.
2. Connect one end of the hdmi cable to the TV and the other end to your HDTV.
3. Make sure the TV is connected to the internet.
4. Via your HDTV's menu, select the input for the hdmi port the TV is connected to.
5. Power on the TV and enjoy.

I would add a word of caution to step 1. Not all HDMI cables will work. That is because they have a copy protection protocol called HDPC. Don't just grab one off the shelf. Ask someone in the know to grab the one with the latest HDPC standard. Most of the new ones should be okay. But I have had to make a couple of trips to Best Buy over this very issue. If something doesn't work in your setup, look no further than the HDMI cable.
