ive read that it is wise to replace the mains power cable that comes with your tv so my question is - will i get better performance if i replace the mains power cable on my sky hd box?

 if so can anyone recommend one?

cheers

Re: power cables

 Haven't tried, but I doubt it - and given that the Sky HD box uses a little 'figure of eight' mains connector, you won't find as many upgrade cables on offer.

Re: power cables

QED's Qunex HDMI-P (£50 for a metre cable) should be ideal, assuming your set and box aren't a huge distance apart.
