AnswerYou will need to download a program called Insomniax. When it is enabled you will be able to completely close your MacBook with the music/video still playing.

I have a 'Mini Display Port' to 'DVI' cable - does this cable help for new model of Macbook Air to TV?

On my TV, I can't find a HDMI plug for it, only a DVI plug to connect to.

I bought the 2.66 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the DVI to HDMI cable, would I be able to output the video to my HDTV?
I bought the 2.66 GHz 15 inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the DVI to HDMI cable, would I be able to output the video to my HDTV? I understand I need audio cables as well, which I have. Does a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI exist to "cut out the middle man?"

AnswerTo answer your first question, yes, with the setup you have, you should be able to output HD video to your TV. Granted you purchased the proper DVI-D to HDMI cable as indicated in the reviews and questions above.
The second question, no, currently there is no Apple sponsored Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter in existence, and if it did exist, it would have been available for you to purchase when you checked out. -

Answerassuming you have the older model MBP and not a unibody (which plugs straight in) you would need an adaptor that switches mini dvi to mini display port, to my knowledge, no there is no adaptor that does this. in all honesty though, it would be much cheaper and easier for you (and probably get you an equally inpressive display) to buy the older mini dvi to DVI adaptor ($25AUD) and get a nice 3rd party LED/LCD display (Samsung, Dell, Benq, LG all make great ones) or TV. this way, you will get a bigger screen (for the same money) or the same size/quality screen (for much less money) and the added bonus of not needing another cable for audio signal (because the mini display port does not 'do' audio signal)

Answer
We need to know what kinds of inputs your TV has. Most modern TVs accept DVI directly. Does your TV only take video coax? Does it have S-video in? What are the options here? Posting the exact model of the TV may make it possible to answer the question.
