The cable included is a short (0,8M) starter cable. It should do HDR and CEC fine.
If you need a longer run, you'll obviously need a different cable.
We've had a couple of cables that didn't perform in the past, but that was isolated. We include the cable to avoid a toys without batteries like situation.

For the Vero4k owners here, what's your goto skin for Kodi?
I reverted to what I know from my HTPC and chose Rapier.
I'm guessing it's a bit heavier skin maybe as when I click on Movies or Tv Shows, it takes about 20 seconds to load and show anything. Not sue if there's a buffer or cache I can increase, but still learning the ropes.
I like the box so far, still tweaking the setup a bit and scanning my library in, hoping I can get it optimised and a bit snappier, but so far it's ok.
Working on a file transfer issue across the network over on the OSMC forums but overall, not bad so far.

I assume you're using a library mode.
20 seconds to show something sounds slow. Is Vero 4K perhaps having to wait for a NAS which has drives that have spun down?
We'd need to know a bit more about your setup to advise.

I thought so too.
Three 4 bay hard drive enclosures attached via powered USB3 hub, so no network or NAS involved.

First thing to check is if skin affects the speed (I don't think it will).
Do videos start quickly, i.e. is the problem just when browsing?
Make sure your GUI is set to 1080p under Settings -> Display.

Some skins are faster than others at displaying the library lists. I use Rapier though it's rather slow. Bello and the default OSMC skin are faster.
