If it can do everything the article says it can do then, bring it on!!!

I remember some time ago in a Home Theater Magazine sidebar where it hinted that something like this was on the horizon but it had a different name I can't recall right now.

If it means an end to HDMI/HDCP handshaking, I'm all over it.

Thats cool ! But I remember at one time there was talk of some version of wireless HDMI/HDCP. I'm not a Pioneer or Onkyo fan though.
