use tv?
Does your tv have analog out? Maybe you can use hdmi to the tv, then bring the audio out to the receiver using a analog connection?
If you just purchased it, you might check to see if you can get your hands on one of the previous ones. It has the analog audio and video connections, and was only 150 at Fry's a couple of weeks ago. You can tell if it has the analog connections by the presence of a hard drive. The older ones double as a heating pad for your coffee, so give it some space if you do get one. I don't think the older ones will do netflix however.
