Well HDMI is digital.  It does audio and video.

DVI-D is digital, same video signal as HDMI (a simple cable will adapt
between the two).  No audio at all of course.

DVI-A (rare) is analog only.  VGA compatible, just a simple cable change.

DVI-I is both DVI-A and DVI-D, so you can do either VGA analog or DVI
digital video signals.

For tv with audio and video, you would want something that does hdmi
from the PC to the TV.  I t can convert to ethernet along the way,
as long as it really does carry all of HDMI.  Anything meant for DVI
will only carry video (no audio).  Not useful for TV.
