With the older minis, there was an adapter you could get that allowed the mini's dvi port to connect to a regular TV. If this adapter was connected, the mini would work fine. That doesn't work on the newer minis though. Depending on what mini you have, it probably has a mini display port, and either a mini dvi port or HDMI port. With these, the only way I have found to make this work is to connect a monitor of some kind, I don't think just the cable is sufficient, I could be wrong there though.
