Oh, there is already a standard that enables communication across devices with hdmi: hdmi-cec. That is why you can control your dvd-player or bluray-player with your tv-remote. MS just needs a wrapper from voice to cec-commands.

Dude, your tc remote is an infrared emitter.....and as I write above, chances are pretty slim that your average $20 settop box has a bidirectional HDMi 1.4a connector that just happens to say "HDMI out" instead of the right description.


Dude?! I am not your dude. Hdmi-cec doesn't require hdmi 1.4a. And what about this crap about infrared? You don'T seem to understand what I was talking about. For updating your lack of knowledge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#CEC
