Scart Leads

I have just got my new panny plasma screen, its fantastic. Hooked up the dvd recorder with a HDMI. The freeview and dvds looks great but my sky picture dosent seem so good in campairson to the freeview. Could it be the scart leads im using, they are the cheep free ones that came with the sky box. or could this be the setting of the sky box itself, i tired to fiddle with the picure settings on sky, but i dont really know wat im doing and i dont think much changed.

Could anybody recomend a good scart lead reasonable price, id need two one going to tv and another to the dvd recorder that wont wont have to be as long.

Thanks!
