What do you mean by HD cables? Component? HDMI?
You should check www.svideo.com. They are good.

You'll need component cables, and I believe Comcast will provide
them. Don't get suckered into spending a mint on cables.

Component cables are 3 cables for video. You'll see them labeled as
RGB, or Pb, Pr, and Y.

I personally make my own from RG6 coax cable, and just solder the ends
on, because I have my TV and my component in two different rooms, on
opposite sides of a wall. It enabled me to make a cable exactly the
length I wanted, and I ran the wires without the ends on so I wouldn't
have to have a huge hole to feed them through.

BUT, I have used successfully any number of prebuilt cables that come
with DVD players. You won't be able to tell the difference. The only
people that will tell you they can see a difference are those that
dropped $100 on 3 6 foot cables, and probably are trying to justify
the expense.

Comcast will also bring the cables that you need. Most likely they'll
bring component cables and they'll work fine. There will be three
cables used for the video, and two for the sound. You can buy an HDMI
cable that will carry the video and sound all in one thinner cable.
Comcast normally doesn't supply an HDMI cable. The advantage of the
HDMI cable is that it is one cable instead of five. Some people think
there is an improvement by using an HDMI cable, but most people can't
see a difference. You'll be amazed at the quality of an HD picture
either way.

I found a set of Component Cables at my local BigLots for $6.99 and the
audio for $4.99. But if order from monoprice.com, I suggest you get all the
cables you need in one order, that way you're always be prepared.

There are lots of places to get cables cheap online....Just MAKE SURE
you get HDMI certified cables and not rip off's. eBAY is full of fake
HDMI cables...
