All my HDMI cables are from Poundland and picture looks great.

Expensive HDMI cables are a total rip off.
Thats exactly what the programme and the Consumers Association (Which) said. They also did tests with people who either didn't know the differences or got it wrong eg saying that the £1 HDMI picture looked "less fuzzy round the edges" than the gold plated one!

Why do HD pictures need a special cable anyway?

How does my V+ know that I'm not using one (and thus refuses to play HD VOD)?

Thanks.
