  • I get intermittent HDCP errors with my Apple TV - once every week or so Netflix will throw up the error and I have to turn everything on and off at the wall to get it to work again.

    Wondering if something like this would resolve it? I'm assuming the cable I may have used is not good enough?

    I've also read online that it can be a sync issue between devices.

    • Did your TV cost over 10k?

      • No, but I bought <$10 cables and I’m having issues.

        I noticed that these specifically mention HDCP whereas mine don’t which is the error I’m struggling with.

        Any other recommendations?

        I’m about to change the TV to an OLED so was planning on running new cables at the same time

  • Are these any good?

    • Maybe, maybe not. If you don't have an 8K TV, or you don't plan on getting a PS5 or XsX and running it at max refresh rates (assuming your TV handles those refresh rates in the first place), then these cables won't be of benefit to you.

        Not entirely accurate.

        If you have no HDMI or need a new one, then its a decent cable by specs.

        If you have one and have issues, maybe.

        For example, had constant issues getting HDR, screen blackouts and sync issues with cheap cables. Changed to a decent HDMI2.1 rated cable, never had an issue since. So, basically, if you're in need of a cable as you dont have one or current one has issues, then this is a good option (based on specs)

          Changed to a decent HDMI2.1 rated cable

          This is where you have to be careful. As of right now, there are no cables rated or certified for 2.1, no matter what they might say. A cable can be constructed so that the manufacturer claims it meets the 2.1 specification requirements, but the testing and certifcation regimen that can label cables as "Ultra High Speed" is so new there are no certified cables yet.

          There is a lot of misleading advertising around this. For instance, one prominent Australian cable supplier states "…support resolutions up to 8K @ 60Hz & 4K @ 120Hz and are certified to be fully compliant with the latest HDMI specifications", which is clearly misleading.

          That's not to say these won't do exactly what they claim. The trouble is, you have no way of verifying it, and anyone who remembers the bad old days of "1.3 cables" should know how much of a wild west this is.

          In fact, the HDMI Forum itself states:

          You cannot use version numbers by themselves to define your product or component capabilities or the functionality of the HDMI interface.

          And please note that NO use of version numbers is allowed in the labeling, packaging, or promotion of any cable product.

          And the product description of the cable in this deal does not comply with this. This cable's own marketing says "HDMI 2.1 8K Copper Cord Cable…. Compatible with HDMI 2.0b/2.01/2.0/1.4/1.3/1.2/1.1". So in the same sentence they're calling it a 2.1 cable in contravention of the HDMI Forum's requirements, while also saying it isn't even compatible with the 2.1 specification! Draw your own conclusions.

          • @Astronaut Joe: Thanks, that's a seriously helpful and insightful reply. Makes a lot of sense!

      Depends how well they conduct, which depends on how much copper each individual wire has available to it to transmit its signal. But without knowing the AWG (diameter of each wire), it's anyone's guess how much better these conduct compared to any other cable, and as such there is no way of knowing whether these really achieve 48GB/s other than taking the seller's word for it.

      The other day someone was selling 3 metre cables with a supposed 18GBps bandwidth, with an AWG of 28. Last time I bought 2 metre HDMI cables with an AWG of 28, they were advertised as having an upper limit of 10.2GBps. I would not be surprised if the cable in this deal has an AWG of 28.
