Ok I have a little dilema. Just want some options.
Right now I have a Panasonic 42" TV.

and I also have a Panasonic surround sound system with wireless rear speakers.

Heres my dilema. I would like to get 5.1 out of my ps3 and my cable box. But the way I have it hooked up right now is my ps3 and cable box are hooked up to the tv through HDMI cables and then I have a optical cable going from my TV to my receiver. My tv can not pass anything over 2 channels through the optical cable. Basically I would like to have my ps3, cable box, and xbox hooked up so I dont have to keep switching optical and hdmi cables around. I know there are switches out there but they are as much as a receiver. Am I kind of SOL here?
