What is the best way to configure my home theater system?
I would like to hook up both my x-box 360 (which is my DVD player) and my satellite box. My home theater receiver has one digital audio optical interface port. I have this plugged into the x-box. Now, however, my satellite box only has either red and white cables or the digital audio optical connection.
What should I do? I have a 46″ sony bravada HD TV that has digital audio out in optical as well. Is there a way to use that to resolve this issue? Can you get a splitter cable for the digital audio optical stuff? Do I need to buy a new receiver with more ports?
The bravada has an optical out, but no optical in… and even if it did, the home theater has only one optical in, and I’d still be only able to get the xbox in one or the other… if that makes sense.
I was hoping to not have to buy a different adapter for my xbox if it is not necessary.
My sat receiver has only Digital optical out, it does not have HDMI available [I do not have an HD satellite yet, we won't for another year... but I bought the TV anyway because I wanted a bigger TV.]

What are some really good headphones for home theater and Xbox?
I want some really good headphones in the <$150 range for my home theater. I come home from work late at night and don't want to wake up my wife and daughter, but still want to enjoy a movie or some Xbox.
Obviously I'd go buy the Sennheiser HD 650s if I wanted to flip out 1/2 a grand, but that's not possible.
Anybody have any good suggestions?
5.1 sound and good bass are important!
Thanks friends!

Can i use a home theater system with my TV?
My TV has no audio output, only my VCR, i am thinking about buying a ?Home theater system for my room but I do not know if it will work. My VCR is hooked up to my TV via Cable line. Will that work if i plug my HTS to my VCR Output? (fyi if you were wondering why dont i have a DVD player, well i am using my Xbox) Also would it be more expensive to buy a HTS or just buy a Reciever and get some of my old speakers out of my closet and if they dont work get new ones?
