Ando: My panel is 4 years old (LG RT-42PX) , is there any easy way to check if the DVI has HDCP? Nothing mentioned in manua.
Thanks for the post Cyril that makes sense, still not sure why the tech person needs to visit me and why I can't just pick up the unit I would have though Sky may want to save the money on paying these contractors. Great posting with the Foxtel Blogger that certainly answers a few questions. Given the Foxtel upfront approach it is sad Sky TV in NZ don't have a similar tech facing blogger their PR seems pretty poor the aussis have probably answered all the good questions anyway.
richgamer: i read in the herald today that skytv said they will only be providing a standard cable that is connected from myskyhd to the tv. the herald said if you want better digital quality you'll have to buy a 3rd party digital cable so it shields from interference.
why can't skytv provide the best shielded digital cable when we get myskyhd?
Sky told me it will provide a standard cable free but those who
regard What HiFi magazine up there with Great Expectations may part
with hundreds of bucks for a super shielded HDMI cable with a mineral
count that would get the stock exchange excited.The considered word is that a relatively inexpensive cable upgrade should bring
quality and durability benefits. But digital is very forgiving compared
with analogue in this department, so don't feel obliged to buy an
extremely expensive one.
The Herald article says Prime will be in HD as well,really will it be on launch?

timbosan: OMG, the great cable debate reaches Sky TV! Simply put, its all a load of bollocks. HDMI is a digital interface, either you get a perfect signal or you dont, its not like analog where there are varying degrees of good or bad cables. If you want to run a projector off Sky HDi over a 10m length or more, you will need to buy a semi-decent cable, otherwise you will end up with no picture, but thats about the quality of the cable, not the quality of the picture. But spending $100's or $1000's on digital cables is not worth it.
Of course I don't want to start a mass debate about this, and I don't want to veer off-topic, the cable Sky are supplying should work perfectly fine in all but the most extreme cases.
