The only company that offers field-terminated HDMIs, still not worth the cost, in this CI's opinion. The do-do cables are just that, butin no way should you have to spend that kind of money to get full HD and 7.1, 8.2, 9.2, or 16.4 surround sound.. Yes, Dolby has a surround sound with 16 discreet speaker signals.. As long as you feel it was worth it, it was...

Is the 'TaterM' review you, there TheSaint? Thats funny sh_t...

For $1700 you should be able to design your own color....

And get delivered with hookers and blow....

:lol: at this review...

My friends advised against this purchase, little did they know. I just giggled at them and bought the extended warranty, like every smart consumer should.Before I plugged it in, I examined the cable thoroughly and noticed intriguing details. One one of the cable, at the top of the connector, it says "SKY", on the other it says "NET", not sure what that means.

Anyway, as I was preparing to plug it in, I heard a barely audible sound. I brought the cable closer to my ear, and I could hear the intro tune of "Walker, the Texas Ranger". In disbelief, I leaned the cable against my other ear and I heard a male voice, with a British accent say: "Tea, Earl Gray, hot"Finally, I plugged the cable into my TV upon which my smartphone beeped, indicated that it's charging even without being plugged in.

As I grabbed the remote to watch my favorite TV shows, I noticed something rather bizarre, the tornado warning for my county went away abruptly and since then, all ads are gone. It's been like this for a week. That makes me sad since I miss the directv ad with that russian.

Not sure if it's related but the following day I received a raise and a promotion as well. My libido skyrocketed and I have yet to see a red light at busy intersections. My kids grade reports came in, they both have straight A's across the board.Overall the setup was easy and the cable is working great so far

Its actually amazing to me that they can convince people to spend more than $20 on a hdmi cable. Its carrying a digital signal (1s and 0s) either the signal makes it through the cable or it doesn't. The only things the quality of a hdmi cable affects are whether or not the signal is passed and the aesthetics and longevity of the cable.

      One man’s trash…

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.

      Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
