"HDMI, as we've pointed out elsewhere, is a format which was designed primarily to serve the interests of the content-provider industries, not to serve the interests of the consumer. The result is a mess, and in particular, the signal is quite hard to route and switch, cable assemblies are unnecessarily complicated, and distance runs are chancy. Why is this, and what did the designers of the standard do wrong? And what can we do about it?"
Blue Jeans Cable has a great editorial on why HDMI is so full of problems and some suggestions and solutions that would help fix it. For the end-user at home, it boils down to the fact there isn't much you can do aside from minimizing the complexity of your system. If you're wondering what the problem with HDMI is, give the article a read.
