well you can do it with 2 opticals, or just use a red/white cable
(i used a red/white cable for a little while before i got another optical)

ya it would be better to run the optical straight from the cable box to the receiver but i dont have an optical output from the cable box

thats how i run it when i watch tv, from the cable box, to the receiver. But i have to switch it when I want to play ps3, i need to solve that issue.
