With a digital stb, ps2, xbox, freevo, stereo amp and a 5.1 receiver I have a complete mess of cables already. I really don't want even more cables if they're avoidable. I've got a 1080i tv (which for the price is fine) with hdmi so I'm thinking to the future when I might have a PS3 maybe and new surround amp with hdmi.
