How can i hookup a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR, HDTV, DVD Player (upconverting to 1080P) and home theater receiver? All of these have HDMI capabilities. Diagrams and cables needed would be a +.

I need some serious help connecting all of my new home theater compontents. I have a 50″ Samsung plasma, a Dennon AV surround sound receiver with  a subwoofer ,2 front, 2 rear, 1 center polk audio speakers, a standard definition dish network satellite receiver, and a playstation 3 I will also use as the blue ray player. I would like to know which (monster) cables I need and how to hook them up to get the best experience(best video and audio experience) I am able to get out of it.

Very informative and comprehensice site…excellant work!
