Versions? Nobody told me about versions. I recently replaced the only
remaining PVR in my system that didn't have HDMI (and got rid of all
but the most deeply knitted SCART cables). I just plugged the HDMI
cables in and they worked, just like old fashioned electric hi-fi. If
I'd known there were different versions I'd have worried about it
first. Should I worry about it now?

Not if it works :-)

The comparison tables a little further down wililies page show the bells
and whistles added by newer versions (e.g. 3D, 4K resolution, ethernet
over HDMI) the only 1.4 feature I wish my TV had is the Audio Return
Channel, thankfully I could work round it by using SP/DIF out instead.

no.
not unless you need the audio return channel - that didn't work for me
until i switched the existing hdmi cable for a hdmi 1.4 one - which also
only cost a couple of pounds.

I had a similar experience, despite HDMI's own website saying that
"all HDMI cables will support Audio Return Channnel":

When reading the connections on on some equipment specs. recently the term
"Mini HDMi" was stated what are these?

A smaller HDMI connector commonly used on smaller devices such as
camcorders. There is also an even smaller "micro" connector.

Well, that's me reassured then, as the only thing I use my "TV set"
for is a video display. I won't ever need an audio return from a video
display, so it doesn't matter whether it's there or not.

I knew I made the right decision to keep my system to simple old
fashioned principles, audio equipment for the sound, video equipment
for the pictures, separate recorders for separate recordings. Under
those conditions, cables can be just cables.

My TV doesn't have ARC but I bought HDMI cables that support both it and 3D,
Ethernet etc. just in case.
I then noticed that the AVR runs at 1W in standby but, if I wanted AVR, the
HDMI wotsits (CBA to look it up - service or something?) on the AVR has to
be enabled. That means an 'enhanced' standby power of 19W! or about 170kWh
pa - rather an expensive facility. As I can't see any great advantage over
TOSlink I'll stick with the optical cable so long as lip sync. is OK.
