Question by cribisencinibis: Can I hook up my PS3, DirecTV HD receiver and HDTV to my surround sound system, all via HDMI?
I just bout a new Sony Home Theater system, with 5 HDMI ports. And have a PS3, HDTV and regular DirecTV HD reciever. Can they all be hooked up via HDMI through the Surround sound system? And would Monster cables be the best for quality?

Sure, that’s what multiple ports are supposed to be used for. One device per port, one HDMI cable to your TV, and then you use your receiver to switch between them. You will have to use your receiver’s speakers all the time, however, the receiver won’t send an audio signal over HDMI to your TV.

Monster is overpriced by several hundred percent.
