HDMI is something that has been thrust upon the CI manufacturing channel as much as it has been thrust upon us....it ain't their fault it doesn't work and some of those manufacturers are working their asses off trying to help us make it work better....
Now the HDMI forum has to negotiate the needs of 77 companies and the major studios to get anything done...and most of these companies don't give a damn about our 2%er business.
Jack Rainey - Full disclosure...reformed integrator, now mid-Atlantic manufacturers rep for: Integra, Paradigm, Anthem, Parasound, Atlona, LG TV's and Metra Home Theater...among others
