The one that lincsat provides as a decent one. Had no problems at all with mine.

I did have problems, but not due to the cables lack of quality as such but more due to the environment the cable is in (lots of interference) thus I had to buy the QED qunex to ensure it was shielded more than adequately, after swapping the leads the picture quality did improve, so I'm happy and the cable lincsat included is on the other tv without issues!

It is only a basic cable provided, it's good for 99% of TV's - it's certainly not as well shielded as the £50 cables you can buy

Heh, I wasn't complaining mate, after all, it was free with the box!

Far from it really, I'm pleased because my dad now has his DVD player connected with that lead you supplied me with and using that against the scart connection (as he was prior to this) has shown a dramatic difference in quality, and since he doesn't have piles of servers + pcs sitting only inches away from his box etc, he suffered none of the interference that I did.

Again, I'm more than happy either way, dad got a free upgrade too at the end of the day so win win all round.

excuse me for butting in but how good is the hdmi cable compared to an xbox 360 one?

Possibly slightly higher in quality, perhaps the same, only going to find out by testing it for yourself.

The xbox360 microsoft hdmi cable might be expensive, but I found it to be poorly shielded for the environment it is used in, thus replaced it with a QED qunex hdmi>hdmi lead, works perfectly, I even got another one when I baught the Eurovox EX7000HD because of how impressed I was with it - as discussed above.

i have no problems at all with the xbox lead in the xbox or with blu ray player so got no worries when my new box arrives then!

I think only setups similar to mine would require a heavily shielded cable such as the QED

I wouldn't worry as you say mate
