I've still read about some issues in long runs - HDMI.org says if the cab;e manufacturers follow the specs it should be alright, but is sounds like some other cable makers may not be following spec. I don't doubt you can get issues like the ones you mention, but a decent cable manufacturer should be able to make HDMI cables that don't cost anywhere near $100. No worries, I just don't want people finding this thread after Christmas and thinking they need to spend another $100 on cables when $30 cables can do the job just as well.
When I initially googled "HDMI error correction" there are a lot of links to articles saying that there is no error correction, but I thought it strange that most of them were the same article repeated. It looks like that article is a marketing effort.
