I bought a Roku NetFlix player a few weeks ago. when it arrived it turned out I hadn't purchased any additional cables thinking I had some extra component video cables already. I didn't so I took a drive to Radio Shack, the only electronics store here in town, to find out they wanted $40. The MythTV guys turned me on to MonoPrice.com where I bought 6 foot component cables - three 6-foot coaxials in a bundle - for $2.18 each. Since shipping was $4 I bough 3 just on the principle that the material should cost more than shipping.
