Most of my TV geekyness is with analog; but combine that with what I know of computers I think I might have a theory.
What happens to a lost packet? On a regular network if there's a packet loss the receiving device lets the sending device know of the failed packet; and to re-send it. Is there enough time for the TV to tell the HD box to re-send the packet? And if not; how does the TV display that lost packet? And is there a greater chance of losing said packets over a longer distance?
As I said I'm just spitballing here. Not sure if I'm on the right track or not.
