even if the hdmi 1.3 out from a source(players, terminals) doesnt implement the full HDMI 1.3 specification, you would still need a receiver with HDMI 1.3 in that can process Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio for your surround systems and then that can output 1080p to your HDTV those receivers cost a legs
to fully appreciate HD, you need 1080p... a expensive receivers that can receive/output 1080p and process Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio... a 7.1 speaker set to fully use that HD sound stuff HDMI cable optical cable
See the bluray/hddvd thing for reference. I'm scared to buy a bluray player because of the changing spec.
If you want hardware to be simple, you can't change the spec mid stream. You can do this with software that automatically updates, but there's no automatic updating of the clock rates and bandwidth in your TV, receiver, and disc player.
Here's the thing though, you don't. Get a player that decodes True HD and outputs LPCM or Analog, and pair it with any receiver that plays lpcm over HDMI 1.1 or analog over RCA jacks, and you're set on the audio side.
On the video side, run you video straight to your tv, leave your receiver out of the loop. Too mnay button presses to switch TV inputs for you? Get a harmony remote. $100 is cheaper than a new receiver.
HD is only as hard as the manufacturers make it. Mere mortals like you and me should just seek the path of least resistance.
I cover much of this in my latest podcast.
