An HDMI lead isn't usually supplied unless you ask for one when arranging the install. Ask the installer, you might get lucky, but it's unlikely they'll have one for you - they didn't for me, but thankfully I'd had the foresight to buy three when I bought the TV!
So, I would suggest you pick one up. Besides, HDMI cables are the SCART leads of the future so the two basic rules apply: you can never have enough of them and never pay more than £5 for one! Well, not unless you need an especially long one. I see £60+ ones in places like Currys and feel intensely sorry for the poor plebs that are conned into buying them, especially since anyone who knows they need to spend that much on an HDMI lead - not that I can think of any good reason to spend that much, myself - almost certainly wouldn't be seen dead buying it in Currys!
Urr, I'm rambling! Basically, if you need to ask that question, then yes you need to buy one.

PPS. I'm still a relative newbie around here, but we seem to be a helpful bunch - I certainly try my best, even if I can be a little long winded!
PPPS. Note to self: drink less coffee!

Really? That wasn't my experience - VM knew full well that I had an HDTV (or was going to on the install date, anyway), but the installer still didn't have an HDMI lead for me. I suppose it might depend on whoever takes your order making that connection...
