DVI Cable help needed

So my Plasma TV is about 2 years old, but with my new HD-A2, I want to take advantage of the up converting. My TV does not have HDMI, but DVI

I ordered a HDMI/DVI Cable from Monoprice: Link

However Ive plugged it up to my HD-A2, and HD Cable box, and I am not getting a signal. I suddenly feel like I know nothing about DVI.

Could this be the problem?

The cable I bought has this type of connector:



And the TV has this DVI Input (DVI HDCP):



So did I get the wrong cable, or need an adapter, or is there something wrong with my TV? Thanks for any advice!

Ok, after too much research I found that my older plasma, doesnt have HDCP with the DVI, as it claims. I would delete this thread, if I could
