Default Do better scart leads work?

Ive recently bought a samsung HD LCD and the picture through Sky+ doesnt seem as "crisp" as other freeview/ordinary channels.

If i change the scart from a cheapo £4 jobbie to something better will it make the picture any clearer? If so what would you recommend?

I think What HC recommend about 15-20% of budget on decent cables.

The last cable i bought was a Belden Broadcast Component Cable, £70 a metre. Can't honestly say i noticed much difference, but went from a QED Sqart (AV41) which was £50 a metre.

I bought some QED blue scart lead thing for something like £50 and can't tell the difference
I must be blind or stupid or probably both...

This QED Scart has won What HI-FI?'s best scart award 2006, and it's reasonably priced too. They also do a RGB only version if all you're after is picture with no sound
