Is there such thing as underpowered HDMI?

I bought a 10 meter HDMI cable of average quality to connect my laptop (HP probook 4530s - windows 10 pro) to my LG digital TV. But although Windows and TV detect the connection via cable, it seems both cannot use the signal.

Further investigation led to these:

1. Connecting the same TV via the same cable to a satellite receiver: OK; (so cable is fine)
2. Connecting the laptop to the TV via 1.5 meter HDMI cable: OK; (so there's no problem for laptop to send signal)

So what is the problem here? Is it the case that laptop outputs a weaker signal compared to say satellite receiver on HDMI port?
