Hi,

The HDMI receiver is not the issue, but the fact that a major part of
the signal processing chain can't do ~150 MS/s pixel rate. Then we can't
insert graphics for the user interface, no double window, etc. This would
degrade the TV to a dumb monitor. Besides, apart from PCs we do not have
any 1080p50 or 1080p60 sources. All settop boxes max out at 720p or 1080i.
I'll be the first to agree with you that the settop box of the future will
be a PC, and of course we will be working on fulfilling your wish...
Best regards,
-- Jeroen
