I thought they have to license the usage of HDMI so pay royalties to the HDMI foundation ...
Who do you think setup and owns the HDMI foundation?
Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Philips etc...
So? I dont follow, how does that change things?
Youve lost me, why would the TV manufacturers who get royalties from licensing HDMI want to offer a free alternative?
