    I am confused...

    Does the following announcement mean that Firewire is out and HDMI is in ?

    That would seem to be at odds with this.

      Now I am even more confused. I can imagine what the poor uneducated consumer must be going through,too.

        My impression was Firewire is the audio side, but the other one may become the video standard. Oh boy, if that's the case, doesn't this mean every HDTV set top box produced to date is out of date as far as receiving a recorded HD signal?

        I could be wrong in my interpretation.

          Lex, that's exactly what I was wondering about.

            Actually, according to the article, HDMI supports both audio AND video signals.
            HDMI transfers uncompressed digital audio and video for the highest, crispest image quality.
            And yes, you'll need a new set-top box unless you have a DVI-capable one as those boxes will pass the HDMI signal. What else is new? F*** the early adopter - again. :evil:
