No.

2) What devices you have use HDMI? Do they work well together?

Not applicable.

3) If you are not currently using it, are you planning to upgrade? Why or why not?

I suppose when I have to I will. I'm more of an "audio guy" than a "theatre guy", so I've never seen a clear advantage to HDMI. Besides, when I wired our new house HDMI cable prices were through the roof. Had to do something with all that RG59 and RG6 I had laying around..

4) What do you think is the most exciting feature of HDMI 1.3?

If I have to pick one, I'll go with "deep color" because it sounds like the usual cable mumble jumble.

Yes

2) What devices you have use HDMI? Do they work well together?
I use HDMI for my denon 1930CI dvd player. I also use a DVI-HDMI cable for my HTPC. I also plan on using HDMI for my cable box, but my cable company apparently is in no hurry to introduce an HDMI box. I haven't had any problems, and I love using only 1 cable for audio and video.

I think I'm on the same boat as everyone else, as I am looking forward to new surround formats. There is also supposed to be support for better color, but I am not planning on upgrading any of my TV's for probably 5 or 6 years.
