I read through John's interview post and BTW, thank you John for doing the work to get us this information. Primarily, I'm focused on this whole HDMI support issue. I also have a personal vested interest in how any solution coming from Meridian would support my gear if at all as I own a 568.2MM. The HDMI section of the interview didn't say anything about whether they're looking to do or committing to an external solution which would also support legacy gear. So should I combine what was said in the interview with the reports from those who attended Cedia to get some sort of hybrid answer/conjecture?
