Are those all in one cinema/DVD jobbies capable of decoding other sources? Other than the built in DVD Player?

I don't get how they work myself as I've only used an AV, where everything is connected to that via HDMI and that decodes (bit stream) the picture and audio.

From the way it reads (probably wrong) you're thinking the TV will decode the sound sent by the SKYHD and the PS3, then bitstreamed to the home theater system then out via the surround speakers. I don't think it'll work myself. I hope I'm wrong.

Can you plug the SKYHD and/or PS3 directly into the home theater?, then hdmi from that to the TV? Can you select different input / outputs on the home theater?
