Very likely no free lunch here ... if you happen to buy both a new TV and a new AVR, both of which correctly implement this feature, then you can save a cable (although you probably need to buy new ones). Knowing the (lack of) speed and compatibility of HDMI adoption, I wouldn't bother to drop a mail to Santa this year yet. Maybe for the 2010 X'mas..i.e, if the CE industry survives the recession. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ah-palin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 11:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The next generation of HDMI actually adds some welcomed features]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm all for innovation, but I'm not upgrading all my gear to save 1 optical cable.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron Smith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 9:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The next generation of HDMI actually adds some welcomed features]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</guid><description><![CDATA[Agree, but 4 or 5 years from now maybe.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ChadT84]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 11:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The next generation of HDMI actually adds some welcomed features]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does it add the feature of not being a pain in the ass and actually working?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Fuzz 53]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 10:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The next generation of HDMI actually adds some welcomed features]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does anybody else find it noisome at best that we have a changing spec on a consumer standard? How on earth are regular people supposed to not feel ripped off, when I, a fairly experienced computer/audio person, can't even keep track of the different sub-specs of the current standard? I realize things improve all the time, and digital advances mean the need for change, and even that forward-thinking a spec raises the price, but come on. Somebody should have sat down and planned out the full details for hdtv line transmissions 6 years, with all these details included. Why didn't they, for example, just start with some good ol' fashioned infinite bandwidth fiber optic cable? (I know, fragility. But, still.)<br><br>I realize I'm being a curmudgeon here, but, I got a blu-ray player as a present for Christmas. Now I have to upgrade my stereo since God forbid we actually transmit surround sound over anything but HDMI. My tube HD does have HDMI- but who knows if it'll work. Now I hear about new specs, which mean new receivers, and new flat panels, which means spending much larger sums to be future-proofed. <br><br>I realize that all these newer faster electronics gives us more exciting possibilities. Leaving the market to be totally driven by the obsessives, however, hurts the industry overall by making everybody else feel like they're being ripped off as soon as they get home and discover all the caveats. And it makes us want NOT to buy the newest toys. <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[millia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2009 2:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The next generation of HDMI actually adds some welcomed features]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/06/the-next-generation-of-hdmi-actually-adds-some-welcomed-features/</guid><description><![CDATA[noisome...<br><br>I've never seen that word before.
