[Spidey]

Hi fellows

Do most AVR support 1.3?
I am asking becos WD TV is said to support only v1.2.. is this a limitation.. can it be ugraded by firmware..

I would say basic difference is HD audio and deep colour capabilities. It cannot be upgraded by firmware.
Not all AVRs support HDMI 1.3. The older models only support 1.1 and 1.2

You can get more info over here:
HDMI :: Resources :: FAQ

Now HDMI ver 1.4 is also out!
HDMI :: Manufacturer :: HDMI 1.4

The HDMI version is getting updated every year and technology changes is fast, dunno whether it would really make much difference locally here as you need that kind of content also to be easily available to reap and benefit from the latest technology changes ...
