Yeah, the only thing I can think of would be leaving my HD cables in, (the cables themselves plugged into nothing) and plugging the optical cable from those into the receiver, and then running the HDMI to the TV, which has 2 HDMI ports on it. (I honestly wasn't expecting it to have them, since it's 3 years old now, but I guess when you spend big bucks on a TV you get some decent future-proofing features, like HDMI.)
If I get it back and it's fixed instead of replaced, then it's all moot anyway. Guess I'll find out tomorrow sometime. Just glad it got taken care of for free, regardless of how the ensured my system comes back in working order.
The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.
