    Hdmi ?

    I was just wondering, is there any difference in HDMI cables? I can get one from Circuit City for $140 (Monster Cable)or I can get a Phillips for $40? Both look flimsy and neither have screws to keep it attached like on a computer monitor. Is there any difference other than the $100?

    Got installed yesterday......

    I switched from E* to D* after being a sub with E* since 1996. I kept asking myself all day Saturday, "Why did I wait so long"? It started with the installer for D*. With E* I lost two days work waiting on installers that never came to fix what they had screwed up when they installed us...

I thought that with a digital picture, you either had a pcture or you didn't and the picture you got is the best you will get. Sorry if this is a dumb question to you tech guys. I'm just trying to...

    So, sign up for D* now.........

    Or wait until 1 March? I had decided to switch from E*, picked up the phone to make the call and thought I'd check the board first. Glad I did!:) Should I wait or will it make a difference? I am getting the HD-DVR when I do sign up.

    I'm done with Dish........

    I've been a sub since 1996. We moved two years ago and have rented while building our house. Dish went with us. They changed us to a different set of locals. Since then we have had rain fade every time it rains. Service tech said it was the 105 location and the fact we had to pick up the three...
