OK, off topic,  but my weekend have been spent playing around with some HIFI kit and I'm....

Dismayed that HDMI switching amplifiers still need an optical or co-ax audio connection for each HD video source.   I thought that HDMI carried all the digital audio you needed?    So the simplistic bliss of having one cable from digital AV components is still not a reality (in my test).  You need an HDMI and a separate digital audio cable still.

Dismayed that the user interface of AV amplifiers still looks like something from the early 80's.

Dismayed, that I now have more remotes than fingers.   Surely a dedicated remote for each device is a thing of the past.   Windows media Centrex goes along way but its hard to control  every aspect of 3rd party equipment from the remote.   (yes, know multi-function remotes are good, but this should happen out of the box)

Dismayed that speakers require cables,  subs have their own set of control, power options and other complex settings I don't understand.

UPNP where are you?   I don't do proprietary multi-room..

Come on guys its 2007...

However,   just watched 24, and it don't half sound good...
