Here's a quiz. I'll make it multiple choice, so it's easy on you.

Q: How do I get that key?

A: choose one
1. Contact the HDTV manufacturer
2. Contact the computer manufacturer
3. Post a terse message on a random internet forum

Now...which one do *you* think is the correct answer?

Why would a "8 digit setup key" be needed to plug a HDMI cable into your HDTV and computer? I have a Vizio TV which is connected to a DVD player/recorder using a HDMI cable, there wasn't any "8 digit setup key" involved, just plugged it in and it worked.
