Perhaps in the future, E* will supply inexpensive HDMI cables. However, if I were the head of Dish for a day, I would allow free HDMI cables with a warning. That these are cheap HDMI cables and MAY NOT produce fully desirable results. That followed by the obligatory discalaimer. "We are giving this to you free of charge. You have the option of buying a more expensive, higher quality cable at your expense."

I agree. In this day and age electronic equipment should include all the necessary connectivity equipment for the most common connections, not only satilite recivfers but video games etc. Having said that if you have a store called "5 below" (everything is $5.00 or less) I found HDMI cables there. Yes you get what you pay for but they will work. I usually purchase mine off e-bay and have purchased decent quality at decent prices.
