Quite frankly, we're being bombarded with ways to pass HDMI around the house -- and we absolutely love it. This go 'round, we've got Gefen teaming up with Pulse~LINK -- which is also partnering with Westinghouse on a wireless HDTV -- to create the HDMI Over Coax Extender. While details are still scant, the two firms are claiming that the aforementioned device will finally enable consumers to stream HDMI sources over in-house coax, nixing the need to run all new wires throughout your abode. As expected, the duo will be showcasing the technology at CES, and it will reportedly be capable of delivering "high quality, visually lossless video along with multi-channel digital audio" simultaneously. Hopefully we'll get an actual look at the April-bound unit when next week rolls around.
Get a clue...component will only do 1080i...not 1080p...
Won't need HDMI now that Warner's dealt the final blow to HD DVD.
Get a clue. HD_DVD and Blu-Ray both use HDMI. So does HD Tivo and every other (recent) HD device under the sun.
Get new glasses (or hooked on phonics). I never said HD-DVD never used HDMI.
Besides, it doesn't change the fact that HDMI = Component Cables + DRM + Audio(Sometimes).
It's a stupid product and you're stupid for defending it.
no..you're stupid for saying that because there is no more hddvd, there will be no more hdmi soon
What if my abode isn't adobe? :)
Wouldn't it be great if this was a product that was actually released. I've looked at a number of HDMI extension vaporware releases over the past few days but very few have made it to market yet.
Any more details on this? Price/features/pictures/availability?
