Model # is E470VL if that matters.

I bought a new house and Dish Network is coming next Saturday for installation. I just want to keep the t.v. in the box, as it will help out moving it from my old house to the next house.

I need to know if the t.v. automatically comes with a HDMI cable or if I will have to buy that separately. I don't want the Dish Network guy to come to my house and not have the ability to completely hook up my television.

I only plan on having a DVR player and, eventually, a DVD player hooked up to it. As of now, I don't even have the DVD player. The Dish Network tech will bring the DVR, so if I do need to get HDMI cables, how many should I get and what kind?

TVs don't come with HDMI cables. When you buy one, the budget cable are fine,

HDMI cable are not provided by the manufacturer of tvs. You have to purchase one on your own. You do not need to purchase the most expensive one, when a bargain price cable will work. At times Costco has a package of 2 HDMI cable and a tv screen cleaner for a reasonable price. You need one HDMI cable. Hope this will help you out.

You'll have to check the box. Some cable companies (IDK about Dish Network) give away HDMI cables to customers. Either way, the technician should have some, which you may or may not have to buy. Do NOT get them from a store. You will be ripped off. Get the cheapest one you can find of the correct length from Amazon or Newegg.
