Yep that's been suggested and may be what I end up going with. The solution is far from ideal though. I just tried to hook things up that way and found that my receiver (far left under tv) with its toslink input in the bac, and HDMI ports on tv (way up and far right) are too far apart to both reach by 6' cable to my laptop unless I set it ON the entertainment center. (in front of the TV) *sigh*
