Really?
Maybe you can tell us how the HDTVs that are shipping today can
do this...
HDTVs with IP front ends have existed for several years already. Yes, they tend
to be just as artificially and unnecessarily crippled as your limited-use
AppleTV box, but they have existed for quite some time. Didn't you know? DRM?
Done. Guide?. Done. Compression? Done. Signal routing? Done.
What else could I conclude when you wrote:
"Yes, HDMI also conveniently supports any DRM that might be
needed."
HDMI is a uncompressed, sort of "baseband" standard meant only to connect to
displays. Obviously, "any DRM needed" can only refer to gthe display interface,
Craig.
