Does anyone know who manufactures the component and HDMI cables Dish Network issues? I'm assuming cheap chinese.
 
A friend of mine got an install the other day and they only had component. No hdmi.

I am using my hdmi I got from Amazon for .17.

Works like a charm.
 
they gave us component for free, and said hdmi was $20 or $30 when they installed about 2 months ago. The hdmi wire looked cheap so we said no to it.
 
HDMI cable does not need to be expensive. Don't over pay for those things. An inexpensive one can work just as well as a pricy cable.
 
we had 2 612s and 2 211k's installed.

Yeah, its a digital signal so it does not matter what quality cable you get. BJs has hdmi cables for like $6 so we def were not going to pay for their cables.
 
Agreed, whoever offers Dish the best deal. Monoprice is, primarily, an OEM supplier, anyway, and would not be surprised if Dish has used them in the past or will in the future. One thing, for sure, it really has to be an OEM supplier as they are the only ones who have the economies to do this at a price Dish and others can swallow.
 
HDMI Cables are the biggest fricken rippoff I have ever seen! And I thought the price of Eithernet cables where bad :(

I was at Best Buy just this evening and they had an 8 foot Geed Squad HDMI cable for the low low price of $99
Best Buy has their electronics competitively priced because they have to. But accessories are outrageously priced.
Go elsewhere unless one is willing to get fleeced for the covenience.

I remember going to audition some speakers at a higher end (but not Wilson or Mark Levinson high end) shop. The guy there irritated the heck out of me saying I should buy a $300 HDMI cable from him, as it would totally improve my picture. No, I never returned to that shop.

That's what sales lives off of is big $$ commission. Work for company that the sales people always piled on the BS about how great Monster was. they would just laugh when we would pick up the equipment of how much they made off that sucker. They don't believe the BS either.
