DISH supplied Component/HDMI cables

[Supershooters]

Does anyone know who manufactures the component and HDMI cables Dish Network issues? I'm assuming cheap chinese.

 

[MikeinBaja]

Lowest bidder I'd guess.

 

[whatchel1]

Don't know

I don't know but the 1 that came with mine was the same as what I got from monoprice several months before.

We order our HDMI cables from venders so we get the cheapest as possible to give away to the customer. As for Component cables we do not provide them.

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.

 

[Jonhern]

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.

 

[whatchel1]

Depends on which receiver you get. The 722k I have came with one the 622 I had didn't.

 

[PHXHoward]

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.

 

[Jonhern]

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.

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

Was a Monster cable?

I bought 1 off of ebay for $9.95 free shipping and looks good to me,i doubt there is that much of a difference with the monster brand.

 

[DishSubLA]

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 Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more! is amazing. I have bought dozens of cables and given them to friends and family. Everything from 3 ft cables to 2 100 ft cables (one used by my Dad and one used by me). They have all worked great.

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.

The people that think a $100 HDMI is so much better than the $10 or less one are living in a world all of there own .

Was going to go and dig up the same information on Sound and Vision's website (they are a magazine extension of cnet). Digital signal either gets there or it doesn't. Would never pay more than $5 for an HDMI or TOSlink.

Speaker cables on the other hand....
