A work colleague was complaining just yesterday that his new TV & AVR
etc don't play together, the TV does play with the iProduct..

So the consortium's std exists so they can be sure their own
implementations are all different..

Putting aside the dlna protocol, is pushing the GUI out to a DMR
something that MythTV would want to do using an open std?

What is the likelihood of the consumer electronics industry accepting
miracast or DASH ?
They must all want their stuff to inter-operate with the ever increasing
numbers gadgets etc
