Will any HDMI cable do, ie this cheap item from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3M-HDMI-to-H [...] 286.c0.m14

What do I need to look for?

Just got a LG 32" (32LG3000), currently sat on my desk (its a big desk), Im ordering the wall mount and will be getting a 2metre power lead (tomorrow or day after), so all I need is an HDMI cable for comp (ATI 3870 with DVI to HDMI adapter) to TV and a Good internal aerial.

So, what do I need to look for in HDMI cables ( needs to be atleast 2 metres)?

And, any good internal aerial suggestions?
My room is in the attick, so Im hoping I will be able to get a great signal (maybe even Digital/Freeview), Dont want to drill holes and connect from external aerial.

Main usage will be Movies from comp to TV. I'v never been a TV person, hardly ever watch TV, but its part of the package so why not...

An HDMI cable carries a digital signal, so you don't have to worry nearly as much about cable quality as you would with an analog cable. If the signal get's through, it should be pristine.

Very good quality cables at ridiculously low prices. I have the flat HDMI cables and they are very nice. Under $10 for 6 footers.

Nice find, but im in uk and cant find anywhere on that site stating delivery options,

Iv ordered the one I linked above, if it turns out crap, its only £3.50 (inc delivery) so doesnt matter if I have to get rid of it

Sry, I didn't see you were outside the states. That one from Ebay should be fine. It states that it is capable of carrying full HD bandwidth and is v1.3 compliant, unlike some older cables.
