i am running the 28awg hdmi cable 6' from my hd dvr and must say it is crystal clear with no issues. i am also runing into a 720p tv, so if you are doing 1080p or are gong longer you may want to go larger in gauge.

Prices are low enough you just might want to buy a few generic cable options just to have them around.

I bought a LCD display for my PC, and found out it supports HDCP and connection to my cable box, IF, I have a HDMI to DVI cable. Take a look in Best Buy or Compusa, the prices are freaking INSANE, like $90 for 10 ft cable. I had to pay $23 at Fry's or wait to watch HD on my new LCD for a weekend and a few days on a $6 monoprice cable.
