Hi, I recently got a Samsung bluray player and want to connect it to my home theater system. The problem is the bluray player only has hdmi out and my receiver (Sony) doesnt have hdmi inputs or outputs. Currently I run the hdmi to the tv and then a coax cable from the coax out on my tv to my receiver. The problem with this is I'm not getting 5.1 surround sound which my receiver supports. I have the digital out on my TV set to raw but I'm assuming the tv is desampling the audio to 2 channel audio. Is there some way that I can 5.1 Dolby to my receiver. I found a box that is basically an hdmi splitter and supports 5.1 output via coax but reading reviews it doesn't seem to be of the best quality (I'll put the link below). If anyone has any ideas of how to go about this or knows of any other boxes/converters that would work please let me know. I really don't want to spend more than $50... Thank in advance for your help! http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=5557&seq=1&format=4#feedback
