No.

2) What devices you have use HDMI? Do they work well together?
None. N/A

Yes. When I buy new equipment... because I believe it make the cable cutter a little nicer and is a better transport (ie. free of analog/digital conversion noise).

4) What do you think is the most exciting feature of HDMI 1.3?
Deep Blacks. However, I doubt if this will actually be implemented. So the higher headroom (bandwidth capability) is much more likely to be actually useful.

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

Not sure. I'm not totally up to spec on 1.3. I'm looking at receivers at the moment and am resigned to not worry about 1.3 at the moment for anything. I just want something that works and does audio/video well in one cable.

1) Are you currently using HDMI?

Nope!

I have a Sony 400 Disc DVD changer, PS3, and two HD cable DVR boxes... They all work great - cause I'm using component and matrix switching.

Q!

1) Yes.

4) Wider bandwidth for future use = potential for much better SQ.

Thanks
