What cable would i need to connect my laptop to my HDTV? I think the options are VGA or SVA, not too sure of the difference. It will just be to watch downloads on my TV.

I definately wouldn't use an s-video cable unless it's your only choice. If you have a D-SUB input then a standard VGA cable will give a much better picture.

Any of these will do the trick.
