I purchased this cable because it popped up as a "suggestion" when I ordered my Sharp Aquos HDTV through Amazon. Like many other reviewers, at $1.98 (add another two or three dollars for shipping and handling) I figured the risk was low. Keep in mind the seller advertised this as a $59.95 value. Once I hooked up the cable to the TV, it produced an adequate image but absolutely no audio. I tried it in each of the HDMI ports, meticulously went through all the settings, and no change. I ended up using the component and audio cables provided by Time Warner with my HD DVR and everything looks and sounds fine. I won't send the HDMI cable back because it's not worth the time, money, and effort. Suffice it to say you do get what you pay for.
