DVD recorders etc are all sporting HDMI connectors
What's the issue here? Why would having an HDMI connector stop them upconverting analog inputs? The poing AIUI is to stop HD material entering the digital worl unprotected and the analog world at all .. SD upsampling to HD surely is no different from what happens now with DVI+HDCP devices?Originally posted by gandley
problem i see being on amps is they will not offer upconversion to hdmi from say s-video or RGB, or component due to the HDCP protection.

I suspect HDMI will remain for all intenst and purpose unbroken. Hell, I don't even care that it remains so, what p***es me off is the increased cost of all these protection schemes being added to hardware which serves no useful purpose at all to the end-user.
