Welcome to the forum, jmichael99!

Cables are normally included with the receiver.
If you want more HD, consider getting VOOM package in addition to basic HD package. For that you will need a dish pointed to 61.5 though.
I will let someone else comment on HDTV monitors, as I may not be up-to-date on that.

thanks for the very quick reply!

i looked at the voom package. my only concern is can i get fox and nbc in HD with dish network? im a hugh race fan and want to watch the nascar races in HD next year.

Where are you? You will need an antenna attached to your HD receiver to get HD from FOX or NBC, at least for the time being. Check at www.antennaweb.org to see what type of antenna would be suggested for your zip code.

Welcome to SatelliteGuys If you live in or near a Major city you may be able to get your Local OTA (over the air) networks in HD.
