|  [DIRECTV] What cables do I need for an HR2x?
Hi,
I've got a DirecTV install in the near future, all my sets support HDMI. I'm wondering what cables are included in the box? Will I need to pick up additional HDMI cables? How about phone, ethernet, coax?

| IIRC, the only video cables included are component cables.
You can download the instruction manuals from the DirecTV website, and it should have a "What's In The Box" listing of included items.

They now include an HDMI cable as well as component cables and composite cables. (no RF cable is included)
HDMI cable were not included in the original releases but are now included (6' length) since early last year.
A 25' phone cord is included as well but no ethernet cable.
So if you need a Ethernet or RF (coax) cable, then you'll need to supply them, otherwise you get an HDMI, Component set and a composite set, along with a 25' phone cable.
