Do I need a HDMI cable?
I have got a panasonic HDTV downstairs and Sky+ and I'm gonna upgrade to a Sky HD box. I also have a cable running upstairs to my bedroom at the moment to watch the sky upstairs, If I get a HDTV upstairs will I need to replace it a HDMI cable to watch in HD?

Either that or a Component cable - the HD box has two HD outputs, one HDMI and one Component.

Do you mean replacing the long downstairs cable running upstairs to an HDMI one? Because that won't work. You can't have two TV's receiving HD.

Sky HD boxes do, as I said above, but it is somewhat dependent on distance - which I presume you know?.
