 Ask the Editors: HDMI receivers: what to look for - CNET reviews
HDMI switching: Look for receivers with as many HDMI inputs as possible.
Analog-to-digital video conversion: The first generation of HDMI-equipped receivers, such as the Onkyo TX-NR1000 and the Yamaha RX-V4600, kept the all-digital HDMI signals and the analog A/V signals (composite, S-Video, and even high-definition component) separate, so you'd be forced to run multiple cables to your HDTV and switch back and forth between inputs.
Newer HDMI receivers alleviate this problem by de-interlacing analog video or displaying it in a DVD-worthy progressive-scan (480p) format, which should work with any HDTV or HD monitor equipped with an HDMI input.

Two different PS3 prototypes were used in the demos; one was a slimmer box with dual HDMI outputs, while the other was a PC case with a video card in the back.
On the second try, we were told that the reason for not using HDMI was that Sony did not have any HDMI cables and that "they are difficult to find".
In fact, the explanation could be as simple as the PS3's HDMI wasn't compatible with the HDMI spec integrated in the TVs.
