Speaking of receivers, the house I'm looking at has in-wall wired for TV, so I may finally buy that damn receiver, but...

Posted by Mop (226 lbs) (aka rburriel) Jan 19 '10, 14:22

My reasoning is: I don't want to run multiple HDMI's through the pipe to my wall-mounted TV. It might get messy. So if I get a receiver, that means I can use it as a HDMI switcher and run only 1 cable. Except I've heard that some future functionality will only work with HDMI 1.4. Is there a receiver on the market that supports HDMI 1.4?

if all sound will be through the receiver, then only one hdmi cable is needed to the tv - tRuMaN Jan 19, 14:26 4
- and yes, there are 1.4 hdmi receivers out (or at least shown) but i dont think you want to spend a couple of grand for one. - tRuMaN Jan 19, 14:27 3
  - i think more like 6 months from being in the new models of mid range recievers - stewie Jan 19, 14:29 2
    - cept 3dtv is probably years away too, so why rush? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 19, 14:43 1
      - all the tv manufacturers are going to start selling it this year -- nm - stewie Jan 19, 14:47

HDMI 1.4 receivers aren't out yet I don't think... they will support 3D, 1.3 doesn't - stewie Jan 19, 14:25 2
- That's what I've been reading. If you're using HDMI 1.3, then you need to run an optical back to the receiver. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 14:28 1
  - I'd rather just keep my uncompressed audio and not buy a new tv... -- nm - stewie Jan 19, 14:32
