I think you are getting better signal than before. That is why you are getting good picture quality....

Since when signal quality related to picture quality?

I wanted to know if - the HDMI cable provided along with the STB by Tata Sky people is good enough (quality of cable impacts the clarity on screen)I am thinking of buying another HDMI cable (gold plated one) in case it will help with the clarity.Any inputs - anyone ?

Signal Quality is not related to Picture Quality at all. I didnt notice any improvement but PQ is good as before.

Signal quality makes a difference with picture quality.

Definitely, old set top box has RCA output. Actually, RCA plugs have limitation for video quality.
RCA is based on analog circuit whereas HDMI is based on ditigal circuit. So, you can not see High definition picture through RCA. You should have HDMI interface in your tv.

He is wanting to have the Gold HDMI cable than the one provided with Tata Sky. Quality will definitely improve with Gold HDMI, not sure if it enhances your Tatasky quality.... but surely if you are trying to connect to Blu Ray Player and replacing it with normal HDMI to GOLD.

You got the question wrong - what i and KopOut wanted to know is - will buying a new 800/- bucks HDMI make any additional difference in picture quality compared to using the cheap HDMI cable provided by Tata Sky

No it does not make any difference with picture quality with old set up box of tata sky if you buy HDMI cable. As I said before, rca is based on analog circuit whereas HDMI is based on digital circuit which is advanced technology. RCA to HDMI will just change port not result.
If you go for new setup box of tata sky(HD), you may not be satisfied with picture quality because lots of channels are not HD ready but you will get definitely better result with Star plus, Discovery, national geographic than before you had with old setup box. Only these three channels are HD ready in india.

As armaan_99 said, you will get HD result with blu-ray player with HDMI.
