will a cable company give me a free HDMI/component cable if I go and add another HD settop box?

I'm going to Comcast tommorow and picking up a new HD settop box for my new TV... do you think they will give me free cables? component? HDMI? I'd love HDMI.. but sounds too good to be true

I don't have Comcast, but Time Warner gives you a free set of component cables with every HD box.

No. Just order an HDMI cable for $5 from FireFold.com.

when i signed up with Time Warner they warned me in advance that I'd need my own hdmi cable and they didn't supply them.

Just buy a bunch of cables from monoprice.com. Their prices are hard to beat (shipping is a little slow, though).

I have a set of Rocketfish HDMI Cables if you're interested. =p

My Directv box came with one in the box along with component cables. Not as fancy or beefy looking as what you get at monoprice, but it digital so who cares.

I bought two hdmi cables from amazon last week for about $.25... they work great.

Comcast gave me an HDMI cable.

Comcast has given me an HDMI cable everytime I've gotten a new box.

I'd assume they would.

for what it's worth, I only got component with my cablevision/optimum hd-dvr... I went out and bought hdmi just to clean up the clutter.
