Usually, from a TV, the best you will get is stereo and that is how you would connect it (analog). With HDMI, the TV is usually the end of the line, as in from cable box to receiver, receiver to TV, not the other way around. The cable box then passes the audio to the TV. I know there are some sets that can pass through the information, but if you have other devices that are also HDMI, it would make more sense to have the receiver be the hub and only have one connection to the TV.
