Sounds a bit basic, but have you changed the input source on your Tv to whichever hdmi slot you have chosen.

im afraid fella those vga to hdmi cables will not produce a picture on your tv :(
they are used in china for certain games consoles,if you read the listing on ebay fully it will more than likely explain ;)
im no techy but its to do with digital and analog.
the only way for you would be VGA to VGA that will get you a pic on your tv but the sound would come from your laptop/comp :)
