BTW its a cool looking gadget, I'm thinking that the guys who owns or plan to build one of those (super size home theater) will be happy to get one when it becomes available

They don't mention the two current primary carriers of audio on Bluray, and that is DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. Without those two sound formats on the list, this product is pretty much irrelevant.

For that price, they will probably send you only one. Do you want transmitter or the reciever :D

On its specification, it says that it provides bandwidth for full 1080p and 7.1 surround sound uncompressed. Whouldn't that support DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD also since they're not lossless.
