I bought a pack of 3 cables for $8 on Amazon about a year ago.  Knew I should have held out another 12 months or so.   :mad:

Be warned, out of some cable boxes if you plug in the HDMI cable to your TV, and then the digital audio cable into your A/V receiver (because your AV receiver doesn't have HDMI ports), than you sometimes can't get Dolby Digital through your A/V receiver, because the HDMI connection is taking the Dolby Digital Signal.

You have like a million Fox Sports channels on directTV?  Seems like the best provider for sports fans.   :dunno:

Now that my 18 months with Dish is over, I might consider switching to DirectV.  It would be hard to give up the VIP 722 though.  How good is the DVR on DTV? 

I got HDMI cables like 2 years ago at wal mart for about $10. 

If you want to route sound to your A/V Receiver from your sat recvr or DVD, you should use the optical or coax digital inputs.  Usually there's ways to re-program which mode uses the digital inputs.

I actually bought those back when they were $0.98 per.  They hit you with the shipping charge on each cable no matter how many you order but it's still not too bad.  I'd go with Monoprice or Blue Jean if I were buying more.

&@#%ing u-verse does the same crap.  They just tease me by letting me know how many cool games are on, but I can't watch most of them.  I always thought blackouts were for local games, to increase the number of fans actually going to the game, rather than watching it at home.  guess I was wrong.

They dropped 3 cents in one day  :eek:  At this rate they will be 1 cent in 12 days.  After that they will start paying you to buy them.

Wonder if you can buy stock in them.  Surely they will go back up!  :blush:
