Decent HDMI cable.

[solo]

TV is on the wall. TV power cable, internet cable and hdmi cable are run in 50 mm D-line trunking for approx 3 foot. TV picture pixellates. Removing hdmi cable from trunking and plugging directly into TV solves the problem. I'm guessing I need some sort of "shielded" cable. Can anyone recommend a decent brand I can use, existing one is an Amazon choice one. Needs to be 5 metres long.

TIA

I used to buy Lindy cables when I wanted to be sure that it wasn't a complete bodge. I don't know if they are still any good.

(Out of interest, have you checked whether the mains cable or the network cable is the cause?)

Don't know how I'd check those. All I know is the TV picture is fine when the HDMI cable isn't alongside them

Is it OK when the HDMI is next to the mains cable but not the network cable?

As long as you're not gaming at higher than 60Hz refresh rate for 4K, then KabelDirekt High-Speed HDMI 18Gbps at £9.99 for 5m should do.

It is double shielded; a foil for high frequency shielding (Ethernet and other HDMI cable emissions), and a braid shield for low frequency shielding from mains cables etc.

No gaming. Have looked at the Lindy ones as suggested by endecotp, will check these out as well.
