Home Theatre Help

Trying to figure out the best way to set up my home theatre system. Here's what I'm working with:

LG 42" 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV (42LH55)

LG 5.1 Channel Home Theatre System (HT904SA)

Bell TV Motorola Set Top Box

Playstation 3

The problem is the Home Theatre System only has one HDMI input & one HDMI output so I dont know the best way to go about setting it up Surround Sound for all three. Also, the Motorola Box only has one HDMI port. I've been told an optical would solve my problem or maybe a HDMI switcher. Currently I have an HDMI cable running from the PS3 to the HDTV as well as an HDMI cable running from the Bell Box to the HDTV. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Hook your PS3 into your HTIB via HDMI, then hook up your Bell receiver to the HTIB via another connection either component or composite or coax. The other HDMI (monitor out on the HTIB receiver) will run to your TV. For sound from your TV, you can use either red/white or optical paired with whichever video cable you selected, the sound will be plugged into your receiver.

From there, on your HTIB receiver remote, you select which input to view from either HDMI, VCR, DVR, TV/SAT, and so forth.
