I wish HDMI equipment would display a counter of digital errors. For all non-defective cables, this counter should be 0 all the time.
Does the HDMI signal provide a checksum of any kind? I was under the impression that it's just a raw TMDS bitstream of color values with no redundancy.
* control packets (non-video, non-audio) are protected using TMDS Error Reduction Coding (TERC4)
* audio packets seem error-protected at a higher level (by Dolby or DTS?)
* video packets are *not* error-protected
