    That's great... Sky was installed yesterday for me and they didn't give me any HDMI cables for either box. I know they're cheap nowadays but it's the principle.

    We've a HTPC on either TV that Sky was installed on and the Sky installer just unplugged the HDMI cables out of the PC's and plugged them into the Sky boxes... really, really lazy I think.

    My Sky HD box came with an HDMI cable and a year later when I asked them to swap the box for a refurbed one with component out, the replacement box also came with an HDMI cable and a set of decent quality component leads.

    I also got one with an upgrade to HD. (It was a good while ago though)

    The cheeky SOB!!:eek:

    I would get on to them ASAP. There should be an HDMI cable in the box.

    Something similar happened to me....

    Recently I got a 1TB HD box installed and the guy from Finlay moved the old HD box upstairs to my multiroom.

    He used the new HDMI cable provided in the multiroom setup - fine - but just re-used the existing power cables in each of the rooms.

    So that meant there was a spare power cable that came with the 1TB box. He toke it with with him! It wasn't till later that I realised what had happened.

    That power cable would have been useful as a spare or if I was selling a HD box in the future. Why did it take it? What use would it have been to him? Surely they would get easy access to various parts?

    (I wondered why he was so keen to take the 'empty' box! Anytime before I had a Sky engineer install a Sky box they normally left the empty box behind for me to recycle.)
