would be that most cable providers only broadcast in 1080i and dish network supplies limited 1080p broadcasts. The only time you really use 1080p is with Blue Ray players......Digger

on 3-6ft. but when you say 30 ft. then it maybe a different story. I probably would take monoprice's suggestion. Just my thinking on this. But then again, if the less expensive cable doesn't cost much, then why not give it a shot...and let us know how it come out.

The standard Monoprice 24AWG cables have always worked fine for me for distances even a little over 30 ft. Unless the OP is pumping BD content, he should be fine under most circumstances IME.
