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.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
