So my guess is some cheaper or older cables simply don't bother having the CEC part of the cable either save money or the HDMI spec back did not require it. If it was a spare pin on the connector until CEC came along, then I can see why they thought it was pointless to add that strand. It does show that HDMI cables can be different though. |
Interesting. It is strange that it wouldn't work with some cables.

You need Gravity on 3D BD if you don't already have it. The best use of 3D I've seen (and I generally hate 3D films).
Pacific Rim and Prometheus also look great in 3D, and DREDD actually uses it quite well.
I was tempted by Avatar on 3D BD, but you can only buy the theatrical cut in 3D, which IMO is not as good as the extended one.
I still tend to buy 2D BDs most of the time, as I feel that most 3D versions of films are pointless cash-ins (e.g. with the recent cinema release of X-Men: Days of Future Past the 3D is *utterly pointless*).
