    I'm using one of those s-video dongles to get SPDIF/s-video out of the back of my 9400. It sounds way better than the crappy little 3.5mm to RCA plug I used to use!

    Unfortunately the dongle & cables I have now are only 3' long and the couch is 15' away. I am going to get some longer cables, just having trouble tracking down what I would like to buy.

    Does anyone know where to get 15' or 25' 7-pin s-video cables?

    My second option is a 15' digital coax and 15' 4-pin s-video cable (no DVI tv yet), but I figure why trip over 2 cables when I can only trip over 1.

    Thanks a buch if you can point me in the right direction.

    Yeah, I checked with monoprice (which is a really good site!) and bluejeanscables, they said they both just carry 4-pin. I'll give ebay another good searching when I get off work later.
