Hdmi

So is HDMI the best choice from going to a DH cable box to a HD TV for all audio and video? Is there any specifics about the cable or and brands I should look for since it appears these even vary at times?

HDMI will be your best choice. I personally buy all my cables from eBay since they are so much cheaper than in the store and I've always had good luck with them (I generally buy the "premium" ones so they aren't the ultra-cheapies).

Yeah, I was looking at newegg.com. Seem to be a lot cheaper than local stores.

HDMI is only for video. you will still need to run something for audio.

Incorrect, HDMI is digital audio and video in 1 cable.

Newegg would be my first choice.

Hopefully Rabe jumps in here and gives you some specific recommendations for an HDMI cable since he sets up home theaters for a living.

lol, yeah, I'm looking forward to having the Cable and xBox hooked up via HDMI, I just wish my DVD/Surround system was also HDMI capable.

I'm just trying to set up everything in the house with the fewest amount of cords, the cleanest way possible.

Yea HDMI is the best, I have components for now to the new TV, looks good but I got two HDMI cables off ebay for the upconvert DVD player and the Hi def Cable TV.

+2 or +3, whatever, HDMI is a digital cable format, so don't waste your $$ on 'Monster' cables or whatever from Best buy or similar. $80 is a waste for these. If you want a nice, solid, clean cable from a reputable company, I suggest apple.com. They have hdmi cables for about $20 for a nice length and they are great quality. Otherwise ebay, newegg, or similar will be fine, don't spend too much.
