Kogan offers free HDMI cables to 'cut the cable con'

Ha, JB overcharging for cables, its like a web-designer overcharging for a website...

Though to get technical it is still an analog signal, the digital data needs to undergo a phase-shift keying to analog, then over the hdmi it goes, that hits the receiver that converts it back to digital packets. Though the cable can be damaged or bad connection that can result in analog signal degrading that the decoder cannot determine if the phase is a 0 or 1. Normally if the cable gets to this stage you will have no picture at all and you can just throw it out. Though most modern day hdmi hardware interfaces have been engineered that they can lose packets and still maintain the video
