HDMI Help..

[Mark Grant]

That makes sense now, it is an RS232 cable with the D plug, no use for your TV as thats for controlling from a home automation system etc,

HDMI to HDMI is all you need.

Cheers Mark I'm totally new to digital so you've been a great help. I might even get rid of the video next for a DVD player lol.

Cheer all

Hi guys just one more question on the cable, is it worth spending a fortune on a hdmi cable or not. I always try to by the best cables possible as I know they make a difference so is it the case with one of these.

Cheers

Definately not a Fortune! A good, even very good, cable can be had for not much dough. But there are bad cables out there, i dont trust ebay for cables generally, and it can be hard to know the difference. I have been stung before.

If i were buying new cables, and have time for postage, i would go with Mark. You can be confident he has ensured good value for quality:

Hi Stuart thanks for the link, I bought one the other day from asda just to try it out cost £8
picture can be a bit blockie if that's a word LOL, do you think a better lead would sort this out. Just had a look at Marks cables and the G1080 looks a lot better than mine.

Cheers

Sounds like a settings problem more than anything else ...

Im not sure what would cause the blockie picture. My Cambridge id100 dock does not have an hdmi out - so i cant try to duplicate your results, sorry.

However i can report that the WIFI streaming of the picture from an iPad -> Apple TV -> TV is very high quality, and works fine. So there is no reason the picture coming out of the iPad would be blockie (that i know of).

Sorry, im not much help here.
