How to set up 2010 MacBook Pro to Panasonic HDMI TV?

I am trying to set up my MacBook Pro to my TV. Its a Panasonic with 2 HDMI outlets and an optical audio output.

I have purchased a Mini Display Port to HDMI converter with audio and a Toslink optical audio cable with mini adapters.

So here is where the problem lies.... I get the computer screen to show up on the TV, but then after a while it goes blank on both the computer and TV and I have to restart my computer from the power button to get it to do anything because it becomes frozen on that screen.

Plus when it did work for a minute I hooked up the Optical audio from the computer (with the mini adapter attached) to the Optical Audio output on the TV and there was no sound.

Overview:
I do get a copy of my computer screen on the TV.
It goes blank after a while on both computer and TV
I have to re start my computer from the power button because its frozen
No sound from optical output

Please help I am baffled and have spent a $hit load of $$$ on leads
