have a look at one of your HD channels using your existing cable.if it looks like a HD picture then don't bother replacing it,as for whats the best cable to use,who knows?but you can pay silly money for them(upwards of £100)personal preference i think.

I used to work for them in there tv and telephone second level faults dept, The cable doesn't really make much difference unless you are using a large screen (50"+) high quality tv
He probably put the cable to one side to sell down the market for a couple of quid and marked it as installed
