Need help with Digital Coaxial cables...
I am trying to figure out if I have this type of cord already:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=14965
Does this type of cable have any specific color? Markings? I'd rather not buy this if I might already have it, but I doubt it do. Anyways..
Any help would......help.
Thanks!!

no it doesn't have a specific color..as long as it is a coax cable and fits into your coax out and in of your player and reciever you should be fine. i think mine is orange and made by monster.

Another question...
My RCA reciever has a S/PDIF port, but it is for CD apparently. I need it for my SAT (satellite).
Does CD stand for anything else? I guess I could just use my CD setting to run my Satellite audio, but that kinda sucks.

I just use a regular RCA cable for the S/PDIF connection from my cable box to receiver. It's digital signal anyway, not much difference between cheap and expensive cables. My 2c.

A digital coax cable is the same as any yellow composite video cable. Hence, the two are interchangeable, and I'll bet you have a spare yellow video cable kicking around.
