With regard to the HDMI cable, in a post somewhere in RC I saw a reference to a site called cablesforless.com so I tried them. I got a 25 ft HDMI for $45. It seemed like a good cable and it works perfectly. They do not have a 35 ft but they have a 50 ft that is $120. Personally I would not hesitate to buy it. So, they also have the same 2 sizes as everyone else...too short and too long. Here is the address for the HDMI cables:
