I'd say that HDMI is giving Outlaw absolute fits!

Here's' an AVS Forum post regarding HDMI:
"It's a flawed technology with no real basis for existence other than HDCP. Nuff said"

And another:
"Yeah, who ever said HDMI was made for consumers? Ha ha, no way, it was made for content owners. THAT's what it's all about.
But jeez, couldn't they test out handshake problems before rolling out such a technology? Then again, this is the industry that:
- Didn't think to fit a couple dozen characters of artist, album, and song name within 600+ MB of Compact Disc
- Decided the PLAY button shouldn't make DVDs play, rather you must use ENTER
and on and on and on and on..."
