I apologize if my comments have steered some subsequent posts away from the real purpose of this thread.

I have had some important HDMI questions answered by JRS in the past (or answered by not being answered!). For instance, we know that the 861 and G68 processors are architecturally capable of eight-channel inputs. We also know that, as long as the HDMI metadata is handled correctly by a video processor (for instance), Meridian does not need to get at the HDMI stream first. Very very important pieces of information.

My point is that for the last few Q&A sessions, we've got nothing from Meridian in terms of strategic direction, potential products, and timescales. Meridian is going to have to learn that if it wants to be a financially successful company, good communication (without revealing its secrets) is essential. And that doesn't mean announcing withy intentions which don't come to fruition. Hence my suggestion that JRS or even John Bamford does some of the talking rather than decline to answer many of our questions. But I'm not interested in a propaganda message similar to that we got on Hiker's day. Do they think *we* are stupid?

Edit: Here's the 2007 CES thread.
