Octava unveils HDMI over Ethernet extender {Engadget HD}
Jul 14th 2008 10:46AM No, in HDMI the video and audio are contained in one signal. This doesn't work that way.

Jul 14th 2008 10:45AM Basically correct. I hate when people see Cat 5 cables and go "ooh, Ethernet!"
Cat 5 can be used for other things, people!

Ask Engadget HD: Which AV receiver has the best upscaling chip? {Engadget HD}

No offense, man, but I wouldn't touch any Sony amplifier product. Even the ES stuff is middle of the road at best.
Lots of people hate Sony for plenty of good and bad reasons, but HD DVD has nothing to do with this criticism...I just don't like their wimpy amps :)

D&M Holdings owns both companies (Denon and Marantz is what D&M stands for). It's been my experience that the featuresets on similar products are virtually identical between their lines. There is some variance, but I wouldn't doubt they use the same basic amplifier sections.
Take a look at their Blu-ray players - compare features especially. They're identical.
I own a Denon 2808 - nice little piece, especially for the price I paid. It's virtually identical to the SR6001 from Marantz.

The HDMI Spec is free for download at www.HDMI.org. Rob, feel free to quote this "restriction" passage and verse. We'll be waiting.
