Originally posted by Ken H DirecTV has made DVI mandatory, but I haven't heard IEEE1394 being prohibited. You pose a good question, Alan. |
Originally posted by Barry928 It should be interesting to see what Mitsubishi will present as its next DirecTvHD product with their strong commitment to 1394. |
Originally posted by Ken H I'm betting someone comes up with a DirecTV HDTV box with IEEE1394. |
Originally posted by stephenC Am I correct in assuming the all 1394 ports also have 5C? If so, why is everyone (including me) clamoring for these ports with a CP scheme we don't want? There are many threads denouncing DVI/HDCP but I haven't seen any about 1394/5C, lately. What's the deal? I'm confused. |
Originally posted by Marty VA The JVC TU9000, supposedly will have, both 1394 and DVI. The DVI to go to the display for better uncompressed digital image and the 1394 to send a compressed image for recording ie.HMDH30000. The Echostar 921, supposedly will not have 1394. |
Originally posted by IUnknown Sorry guys, but other than posters on this forum no one knows what IEEE1394 is or cares. We do not constitute a market for such products. |
