Hi ruchirj33,

Thunderbolt is not the same as Mini Display Port. They are only co-sharing the same port on your computer.

If you want to connect a TV via HDMI then what you need would just be a Mini Display Port to HDMI adapter.

However, if your TV has a high resolution like UHD, then this may not be supported by your system.

But: Since your problem is not Thunderbolt related, I would recommend you give us more information about your TV.
