But, I can make 911 calls from it and it can receive incoming calls. My one big remaining expense is the dsl line at $60/mo. I couldn’t go back to cable package because the reception had been soooo poor. I pitched the bundled package over a year ago when they wanted to up the package fee after the year introductory rate and no regrets.

Thanks very much for the good info on the HDMI cables! Very handy to know as I look into connecting the laptop to the HD TV 🙂 You can get a 10ft cable for less than $5.

Here is their HDMI cable category scroll down to the cheaper (but good enough for most people) cables, as opposed to the Professional stuff. (If you have mini-DVI, you’ll can get mini-DVI to DVI or mini-DVI to HDMI adapter for a lot cheaper than the Apple store!) Here is a 10ft DVI to HDMI cable for about $5.

If you have a newer video card or a laptop like a MacBook, then there’s a good chance you have DVI out. This means all you need is a nice long S-Video cable, which costs a mere $1.70 for a 12-ft male/male cable. My old Dell Inspiron offers S-Video out, so I’m guessing a decent amount of other laptops do as well. This converter box will convert a VGA computer display signal into a composite (Yellow RCA) and/or S-video TV display signal. Otherwise, you will need to buy this VGA to RCA Composite/S-Video Converter for $27. If you are sure that your computer does this, then you can buy this cheap $2 VGA to S-Video/Composite adapter cable. Some models support what is called “TV-Out” via their VGA port.

Many older laptops only output video via a VGA port. Their shipping costs are also very reasonable.

Compare their prices to what Monster Cables at Best Buy cost, and prepare to weep at discovering what their markup percentages are like. The premier place to buy cheap cables has become.
