Some Help?
Hi there, First...return the cables if you can....you got ripped off, sorry to tell you that...here is a hint...there is no need to drop tons of cash on Monster when other cables are just as good if not better....Here is a quote from this site about speakers cables, just to give you an idea:
Interestingly, the New Scientists recently commented on the London Heathrow Hi Fi Show, saying that among the cables selling for up to £30,000 for 6 metres, they found Quad demonstrating their latest speakers to great enthusiasm. The orange cable to the speakers looked oddly familiar. When asked about it, Tony Faulkner, the recording engineer demonstrating them (who'd used the speakers as monitors while recording Saint-Saen's complete works for piano & orchestra, Gramophone's Record of the Year), said of the cables:
"Yes, they would look familiar if you have a garden. Before the show opened we went over the road to the DIY superstore and bought one of those £20 extension leads that Black & Decker sells for electric hedge-cutters. They are made from good, thick copper wire, look nice and sound good to me. The show's been running for three days and no one in the audience has noticed..." - New Scientist Magazine
Now onto the important stuff....can to describe the problem a little better? Are you getting snow, moving lines, ghosting...etc What's "wrong" with the image from the SAT box....and are you having a worse picture from the DVD player as well?
