Hiya, any knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm after an a Home theatre in a box (ie, one that has the amp/dvd/tuner etc all in one unit).
What I need to know is is there one that has an HDMI in and out?, because I want to hook my ps3 up to it and have it running thru the receiver rather than use different inputs  for the ps3 and the home theatre.

Any suggestions, or does anybody know of a system that has the HDMI in as well as an out?

Cheers
Simon

Try these two:

Sony HTIS100

Panasonic SC-HT65GN-K

The Sony unit is interesting, just looks like a sub but has all of the inputs on the rear.

I am thinking along the same lines as yourself, just want something that I can plug my PS3 and SKY into.

The Panasonic won't take a componenet input though so I would either have to upgrade to SKY Hdi or go to the next model up which is twice the price.

Looks like both of these units have HDMI switching rather than processing so don't expect to get new audio formats out of them..

True but the PS3 decodes DTS-HD and DD HD so it can be sent as a PCM stream to the Sony unit.
