If you want to sell me something that's 5x the price of the competition,
you need to be ready to tell me WHY it's 5x the price. And just saying
it's because it's a certain brand doesn't work.


Had he told people the wire was teflon coated so the electrons flowed beter
and the copper was oxygen free so the electrons would not be degraded, he
could have sold it..

From what I have been seeing the TV people are about the same, Selling high
dollar hdmi cable or special high defination antennas with the same snake
oil pitch.



Yup, I know what you mean. There are some major differences between
different HDMI cables; they'll all work pretty well at five feet, but
many of the cheaper brands (and a bunch of what you see on TV) won't
work at 50 feet (the maximum for the spec). For some, even 15 feet is
problematical.

Best is to buy from a reputable high-end dealer, especially if it's a
local store and not a chain. They know their stuff.
