If a person could buy a Panasonic plasma, Denon receiver, Sony BD player, and a HD DirecTV box, hook them all together, and have everything work as a unified system, people would start to become more interested in home theater and better systems.  The current state of things...sucks (from a consumer point of view).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2008 10:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HDMI founders to finally rally around single CEC standard]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/09/21/hdmi-founders-to-rally-around-single-cec-standard/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/09/21/hdmi-founders-to-rally-around-single-cec-standard/</guid><description><![CDATA[does this mean that i'll be able to hook up my tv to my toaster so a message will come onscreen to tell me when my poptarts are done? if so, WOOHOO!!! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[brad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2008 10:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HDMI founders to finally rally around single CEC standard]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/09/21/hdmi-founders-to-rally-around-single-cec-standard/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/09/21/hdmi-founders-to-rally-around-single-cec-standard/</guid><description><![CDATA[As long as Big Corporate enable this coding in a firmware update if possible for all capable CEC equipment right now.

And just how soon will there be real products ? These guys are quick ! Innovation at the speed of thought ! Mr Venuti loves to keep the suspense on, but let me play spoilsport : this wonderful CEC will transfer a few bits of data every few hours between two compliant devices, if any. Reminds you of the first telegraph cable laid across the atlantic in during the 1800s ? (Nah, those were a bit faster). Imagine pressing the menu key when watching your HD movie from the BlueRay player, ordering your pizza, then walking your dog, doing your laundry, downing the pizza and then, in a swoosh, the blueray menu pops up on the screen !!! Now, that's true innovation ! <br><br>Tell you what, Mr Venuti, call it off. CES can do without such bad jokes. Universal Remote controls or branded wires (what you gloriously call "garbage" - Vieralink, Bravialink, Anynet) do a lot better job than your high interoperable CEC. If anything, let these branded wires die a silent, natural death. It's time to look at a cable and a protocol that can transfer more than a few bits per hour. Heard of ethernet or USB ? Or bluetooth and 11x ?<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[oeL]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2008 11:25PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
