Source for cheap long S-Video cables?

cgarvey

Howdy,
Anyone know anywhere in Dublin (or online with a low delivery charge, not the standard Stg£ 20-30 for a few cables) that sells 15-20m S-Video cables (and I'd likce twin/stereo RCA audio phono cable to match length).. the Sticky lists a couple of sites, one in N Ireland but couldn't find anything cheapo.. there are a few EBay UK sellers, but I'm still cagey about EBay.. anyone any hints?

spyhunter from www.enigmasoftwaregroup.com

the trial will show you the registry and file locations of viruses and adware and spyware but won't remove them , $30 for that

It will show up the registry locations if you are prepared to spend a little time removing manually though

Was looking for something simalr myself,did you have any luck with any of these Cgarvey?. Did not realise you could get 50/100ft s-video cables,when does the video signal start to suffer. Basically I am thinking of running an s-video from my graphics card to the tv for picture with seperate phono leads from my soundcard to the tv for sound. Would this be the cheapest/best option or is there another one

I ended up getting 2x 15m leads from radioshack in the states @ $14.99 each, and a coupler for $2. I've noticed no degradation, but it was an NTL digital box, so the picture quality is pretty poor to begin with.

svideo.com are the business, got another two svideo to scart adapters (ideal for laptop to tv, and work in colour unlike maplin ones) from them this week. $34 delivered for both.

Thanks CGarvey, Air I think this one should do the job

SCART with S-Video + Audio Adapter - 24 ft. (7.4m)
PROSCART-INPUT-24ft. (7.4m) US$22.95

I had a short four pin s-video cable which I tried as a test from my pc to the tv(brought it closer to the pc) and like you it also gave out a B&W picture. Whats the difference between "s-video.com's" scart two s-video cables that they give colour and the ones we get here

Shipping is free on everything, they allow for shipping in their product prices - which is nice

No bother, btw my cables came in about 3 days, I usually find 3 to 4 days to be typical for USPS deliveries from the states (ebay or whatever).
In fact I've never once had an airmail USPS package take over a week. Cheap & reliable, hard to argue against it!
