Right 48GBs Belkin it is then thanks guys.
Indeed - Actually H264/AVC for most broadcast sources (except the crap pictures from Virgin that uses the higher bandwidth available afaik to still use mpeg 2 even for HD).
Have you actually got an HDMI version 2.1 equipped device or devices? You cannot convey more than 18Gbps via any version of HDMI lower than version 2.1 so what use is a cable rated as being more than 18Gbps if not using an HDMI version 2.1 equipped source, AV receiver and display?
You don't need anything more than an 18Gbps cable unless using HDMI version 2.1 equipped devices and if not conveying video that is encoded for use in conjunction with HDMI version 2.1.
I will probably end up with HDMI 2.1 when I upgrade the graphics card I'm waiting to see what the Intel graphics card is like or what Nvidia bring out after the 2070.
HDMI :: Manufacturer :: HDMI 1.4 :: Finding the Right CableThe Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable ensures ultra high-bandwidth dependent features are delivered including uncompressed 8K video with HDR. It supports up to 48Gbps bandwidth and features exceptionally low EMI (electro-magnetic interference) which reduces interference with nearby wireless devices. The cable also supports the HDMI Ethernet channel. It is backwards compatible and can be used with the existing installed base of HDMI devices.
Suggest Dante01, reads and actually understands the DVB-Video standard used for DVB-broadcasting and optical disks. In the UK DVB-HD requires DVB-T2 modulation plus H364/AVC modulation, though some EU countries (and all Full-HD TV's in the UK support full HD using DVB-T modulation (DVB-T2 is backwards compatible with DVB-T2.
Thats why if you connect a digital modulator to the output of a UK Freeview-HD box. You can still view (and record) it's DVB-T HD output on a UK sourced DVB-T HD capable device and record it on a Freeview-HD specced recording device(Most all HD ready TV's) are DVB-T HD capable)
Thanks for that, but what has this to do with what everyone else was discussing and why do I need to read up on it? Have you entered me in a quiz somewhere without informing me? What have DVB tuners got to do with HDMI cables or the compression and associated codecs used in association with disc based media?
You stated DVD used H264 which is totally incorrect.
By the way, the post I made you refer to was to highlight that video compression is used and no, Virgin Media aren't limited to MPEG2 as you stated and do use H264. Maybe do some reasearch of your own prior to telling other people to do so.
You cannot even get the mistake I made correct. No, I'd didn't state that DVD uses H264, I stated that it used MPEG4. The error was actually typographical (more a case of my typing it before avtually thinking about it) and I thanked Trollslayer for correcting me. No one asked for a lecture on DVB-T.
I think you don't know the difference between a video container and a compression codec.

Hi all, I have A 4K Panasonic player, 4k projector and 4k amp, can anyone recommend me a hdmi cable at reasonable cost that will allow me to get most from these please? Ideally under a tenner the better, max length is 2 metres.
Thanks
Don't wast your money on anything else.Think I need one extra now though.
The cable linked above is just a standard high speed hdmi cable. It is not a Premium High Speed HDMI cable so it is not certified (by HDMI.org) to meet all HDMI 2.0 hardware specifications. Ethernet means nothing because there are no consumer devices that ever took advantage of that specification. The ethernet channel will be used for eARC, which is part of the HDMI 2.1 hardware specification.
