You will probably need to get an hdmi cable to get both video and audio to the t.v. Also, be sure your t.v. has the right input source displayed on the screen which might be called "satellite" on the t.v. rather than "hdmi 1 (or 2)" Note too that your t.v. female connections might just be component "out" and not "in".

I wouldn't bother unless you can't physically reach behind your t.v. and player. There are only two wires used--one is the power cord and the other is the hdmi cord going from the back of the player to the back of the t.v.
