Steve: You are correct to want to see your video on a TV as you edit. You don't need a video out for this, however. If your camera or deck is connected via Firewire to your Mac, connect the camera or deck to a TV as well. Then select "Play video through to camera," and you will see the full image on the TV screen. This is especially helpful in iMovie, which doesn't display the full-quality video image on the computer screen.
