Since I'm a cheap SOB, I'd like to know if I'm getting the right stuff before I buy. I'm looking to go 720p for my PS3, connecting to the TV with an HDMI cable and to the 7.1 surround with a digital optical audio cable, if that's the right one. I'm going generic, and as far as I know there's no special version of an HDMI cable necessary?

And one of these for the surround part? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16882339059 Thanks people.

Oh ok - your receiver is probably HDMI pass-through which should really just be called "HDMI switching" because that's all it is, a switch. I felt this was pointless because the audio isn't even being taken from there and it was a waste.
