Dont know if this the right place to post this
Hi ive only seen two products in the UK with HDMI all Pioneer.
now ive read quite a lot about the picture/sound (coming soon) but the official documents also say it can do a lot of other features if enabled for eg

Features CEC provides a number of recommended features designed to enhance the functionality and interoperability of devices within an HDMI system.

A device may implement a sub-set of these features based on its device type and the level of functionality offered. The following list describes the set of features offered:
• One Touch Play – A device may be played and become the active source with a single button press.
• System Standby – Enables all devices to be switched to standby with a single button press.
• Preset Transfer – A device’s presets can be auto configured to match those of the TV.
• One Touch Record – A recording can be made with a single button press (e.g. via TV).
• Timer Programming – Any device can program a timer recording on a recording device.
• System Information – A device can auto-configure its language and country settings.
• Deck Control – A device can control (e.g. play, fast forward etc.) and interrogate a playback device (a deck).
• Tuner Control – Allows a device to manipulate the tuner of another device.
• Vendor Specific Commands – Allows vendor-defined commands to be used.
• OSD Display – A device can use the on-screen display of the TV to display text strings.
• Device Menu Control – Enables a device to control the menu of another device.
• Routing Control – Allows the control of CEC Switches for streaming of a new source device.
• Remote Control Pass Through – RC commands may be passed through to other devices within the system.
• Device OSD Name Transfer – Devices may request the preferred OSD name of other devices within the system.
Protocol Extensions In order to allow for extensions to the protocol in future releases of the specification, the current opcodes and parameters can be extended by adding further parameters onto them. For entirely new commands, new opcodes can be allocated. For entirely new device types, new logical addresses can be allocated.


Now I would love to know as you guys in the U.S.A get the stuff way before us in blighty . Have you seen any of the above functions with a HDMI device.

I have never read about anyone mentioning these added features can anyone tell me there experience</font>
