Well it’s past spring and there is nothing “mainstream” with wireless HD video transfer. Definitely seems like its going to happen soon. After all, HDMI only has to be able to transmit 1s and 0s. Wonder what companies such as http://cabletrain.com are going to do when this hits the market?

Sounds interesting, how does the signal compare to just slinging your HD signal around over wifi with the new Slingbox Pro-HD, that just came out?

A lossless, uncompressed format has a couple of advantages:

No forward error correction is necessary, and that means no processing is necessary to try and correct detected errors. This means a less complex chip set with lower power requirements.

Lack of error correction also means no logic is necessary to arbitrate between the multi-pathed bit stream, i.e. which stream is "correct". With a low enough bit error rate any perceived error in the bit stream will be virtually invisible, anyway.
