Both the video and the audio are sent digitally on hdmi.
This means that even cheap £3 cables work perfectly.
If you buy a cable it should be of sufficient quality to work over the
length you buy (its difficult to buy hdmi leads that aren't pre terminated).
Up to about 5m really cheap stuff should work.
If you want to go 25m then you need better cable.
Don't fall into the audiophiles trap of buying expensive tat as it just
doesn't give any benefits other than bragging rights.
