So apparently there are different HDMI versions, such as 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 etc (I don't actually know the numbers) and if you have differing versions on your components, they won't work together. So for example if you had a 1.0 version cable and a 1.1 version TV and a 1.2 version DVD Player, then nothing would work. All rumor or is there any substance to it?	pine-o-cleen (2955)

671218	2008-05-23 08:30:00	"Q. Can I upgrade my existing HDMI version (1.X to v1.3)? Currently, there are no provisions for doing such an upgrade. Because of the new enhanced feature set, any such conversion would require hardware and firmware upgrades. If there are such conversions, it would come from the manufacturer. Please check with them directly." Seems its true.	pine-o-cleen (2955)
671219	2008-05-23 09:07:00	Seems its true. That wasn't my reading of the website - all your bits will work together.	decibel (11645)

671221	2008-05-24 07:49:00	I don't actually have HDMI anything, I just work in the A/V industry and have heard mumblings about this. Just nothing definitive.	pine-o-cleen (2955)
671222	2008-05-24 08:58:00	Just out of curiosity, say you had a normal TV, non HD etc, but you had a HD dvd player, does the picture improve on your normal TV or do you have to get the HD TV to really see any difference?	rob_on_guitar (4196)
671223	2008-05-24 11:09:00	You'd have to get an HD TV, wouldn't make a bar of difference because you couldn't use the HDMI connection.	pine-o-cleen (2955)
671224	2008-05-24 11:27:00	True. Thanks.	rob_on_guitar (4196)
