Critics knock HDMI interface

US chain Best Buy has insisted that products using the digital HDMI interface pass interoperability tests before going on sale, following reports that some brands are incompatible.

The problem, which could prevent a video player from streaming a movie to a TV, occurs during the 'handshaking', when two devices start to communicate. This is because some devices have yet to receive a firmware upgrade providing support for HDCP

(High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) anti-piracy technology.

Pioneer offered free repairs in the UK to get its plasmas working with Sky HD boxes and recommended that viewers use analogue links to get a picture in the meantime.
