Wanted to get input on a question that has bugging me for a while.
Givens:
Both HDMI and DVI-D support HDCP handshaking.
Both HDMI and DVI-D are pure digital
Maybe Givens:
Most people send the audio through a surround system.
Most TV speakers usually do not have the frequency response of good speakers systems.
Now the question.
What is the advantage of having a TV with HDMI instead of DVI, Typically I would send the video to the TV and and the digital audio to the receiver. Is there some spec out there in the future that suggests that no digital audio output will be available only HDMI? Is it possible to send the digital audio from the TV to a receiver? Do TV's with with HDMI inputs have speaker outputs for 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 channels?
Hopefully this has not been discussed to death already as I was unable to locate a thread exclusive to this topic.
