The reason I mentioned it is because it was something that will be here next year not down the road. At CES 2002 in 9 days, you will see manufacturers with their latest gear and I guarantee, you will see firewire incorporated in new recievers as well as tvs.
In fact all satellite boxes from direct tv and dish network will incorporate this. As we speak Mitsubishi tvs have 1394 firewire. Jvc D'ahlia 36" has DVI. The wait is over the technology is here today. You just got to know where its at Mr. Vox
