Boot sequence is also an issue with HDMI -- sometimes a failure occurs when the display is turned on after the source. But the connectors are also pretty fragile, so a slight bend could cause some pins to not make contact (or contact the wrong spot).

If you need a cheap but good HDMI replacmenet cable, Parts Express and Monoprice have very good ones at low prices. Search around here, you'll find plenty of threads where people love these and they are much cheaper than Monster.

No problem. I have a dealer account with PE (I do custom installs as a side job), and have been very impressed with their customer service, selection, and pricing.
