When we cross-over from broadcast to AV, I'm always SUPER frustrated with HDMI. I don't get it at all. HDMI and HD-BaseT have never made any sense at all to me.

Mini-coax terminated with a BNC can do everything HDMI can do, but better, cheaper and easier. Way more reliable. HDMI is simply terrible. I hate dealing with it. We have to live with it in the consumer AV world only because of copyright protection. But honestly, even that could be done easy with coax if the consumer industry cared.
