I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. What do I need to watch videos/movies from my iPad 2 on my HDTV?
Thanks

thanks guys, i ordered the hdmi adapter.
Well, you first need to get your videos onto the iPad2 - there are numerous options; I've converted 4 DVDs using software on my computer and then transferred via iTunes - there are plenty of threads on this topic, so some searching will help.
Second, an iPad2 adapter is needed; Apple offers several - I purchased the HDMI adapter mentioned by Gabriel and shown below (left); of course, you will also need a male-male HDMI cable to connect the adapter to your HDTV (assuming that there is an HDMI input; if so, just select that connection to watch on your TV) - seems to work for me although the reviews on the Apple Store have been mixed. Good luck -

This isnt working for me and I cant figure out why. My tv is just not recognizing ipad at all. Any ideas.
well i basically can do all that now with the adapter. besides whats the apple tv cost, like $100! It will probably still block hbo go.
