Some HDMI leads don't even support HD properly. Any HDMI lead provided recently by VM will be high-speed and will support UHD, but some supplied back in the V+ days may not work reliably with V6, even if you don't have a 4K TV. If you were given/sent a new lead with a V6, use it.

But don't get conned into paying loads for a new HDMI lead. As long as it is labelled "hiigh speed", it will be fine. There are some perfactly good high-speed cables available for well under a tenner (or free with your V6)
