I just bought a TV and the delivery people had to get a S-video cable to connect my astro decoder to my TV. There the delivery guys charged me extra for the cable.. fair enough.

But I wanted to know how much does a S-video cable cost? It's not really long. But he told me it's rm150. I sensed something wrong but I don't want to make accusation until I can get some opinion first.

So was I cheated or it's really around that price.

PS- sorry if this is not a correct section. But I don't want to get rubbish reply in kopitiam. Thank you.

s-vids cables are dirt cheap and i'm sure almost everyone in LYN forum has one lying around in their house

i myself has 4 s-vids cables that is still in wrappings since i never used them. the quality sucks hell if compared to composite and it comes free with some purchase

Just to keep you guys update, the cable is yinyewang, high grade double shielded s-video cable.. whatever that means.. the plug and the pins are gold colour, not sure if that is gold plated or whatever.

Do those discription mean anything to you guys?

Anyway, i've got back my money, they took back the cable and made full refund. Now I am using a RCA cable, will get a s-video cable myself later.

Thank you for your help because you guys saved my 150 bucks. Thank you!
