If you bought your HDTV then go for an HD receiver, they will have the desired inputs/outputs you’re looking for. oh I already know this… getting true 5.1 from my tv to my receiver isnt a big deal, i just want 5.1 and 7.1 from the PS3 for blueray movies and DVD’s and I dont want to get an HD receiver because i dont want to pay for HD service, I’ll just go get a cheap $40 phillips HD antenna and plug it in to get local shit. I have Direct TV, im sure i could call in and get a new cable box but im not worried about it. > [@ultimate factories: ferrari](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ultimate-factories-ferrari/29921/6): > > this site is one of hte best online resources for devices like what is being discussed. > > [http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c\_id=101&cp\_id=10110&style=](http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&style=) best site for cables and everything you need! got a few things from them --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/surround-sound-issues-hdmi/189665)._
