Congrats!
The website says that it comes with an audio cable (but apparently no video). What kind of audio cable (RCA, S/PDIF)? Should I go out and buy HDMI cables for the two I have on the way, or should I stick with component video and the supplied audio cable? |

HDMI is usually the perferred way to go as it is a digital signal which doesn't require your digital signal to be converted to analog and then back to your digital tv....with that said I have noticed some complaints about the hdmi @ 1080P although that could have just been a slight issue with the first run. Hard to say.....

Glad to see people are getting their units so quickly. I am in Wisconsin so I will not receive my 6 until late next week. I have one up and running and can't wait to get the others.
No if I could only get Charter to make their service more reliable.(fat chance) |

You are absolutely correct about Charter. Their service is not very good. |

Yet another Cheesehead expecting my HD extender to arrive next week. Been spending a lot of time with SageTV lately. I've gotta do something while waiting for the snow to melt...

I ordered mine the morning of 2/27, it shipped the evening of 2/28, and I got it on 2/29 via UPS ground. I live in Southern California so UPS ground saved me a few bucks and I still got it pretty quickly.

I ordered a 10ft HDMI cable from monoprice for ~$10 shipped last night. Since it comes priority mail, I am hoping to get it the same day when my extender arrives. I have component cables, but I strongly recommend HDMI as well. Whatever you do, don't go to WalMart or BestBuy and overspend on a HDMI cable

Another good place to go to is Meritline.com for HDMI cables. I picked up a pair of 6' HDMI cables for 10 bucks with free shipping a month ago or so. Their selection isn't as good as monoprice, but worth checking out.
