You can get for under $20 a three way digital optical selector (google for the lowest price). It is a rotary switch which goes from 3 inputs to one output or vice versa. I have done exactly what you want to do and it works just fine.

I used optical high quality optical cable. I like that when T.V. is turned on sound bar turns on automatically.

I have seen several converters under 20 dollars. Search Amazon with the name of the connection ends: in this case try "PC to TV connector" or VGA to TV adapter".

You need a monitor cable or an HDMI, either will work with the TV but older PC's might not have HDMI ports and newer ones might not have monitor ones.

What I would do is buy a optical toslink cable to rca left and right converter

Yes, if you TV does not have optical out this is the way to go. I had the same problem and this little device solved for me.

In the box is a pair of RCA plugs for an analog TV plus an optical connector for digital. Use whichever one is compatible to your TV.

I can't say definitively if there is no all-in-one eyetv-like product with built-in dual cable input, but I'd really doubt it. Why not put a A/B switch like this [ http://www.amazon.com/PHILIPS-PH61007-A-B-Switch/dp/B0001GGXMW ] before the eyetv hybrid? Still allowing only one or the other input...would have to manually flip the A/B switch. Were you hoping to record a program off the air and off of cable at the same time (or close to the same time, when you wouldn't be around, or have to remember, to flip the A/B switch)?

The Optical out from the TV needs to connect into a splitter with an optical in . From that point on just connect each line out from the splitter into each box.Let me know what it sounds like? You will need 3 optical connections plus an optical splitter (1 in and 2 out)

I bought the Bifrost for optical input from AppleTV. I don't know about USB and never checked for it because I wanted to run Toslink from ATV to Bifrost. It sounds great with that setup.

No. There is only one optical input. You may use a switcher to select the input.

Yes, as my own Review of this product will tell you, this system does have an input for Optical cable. I am using that fine! However, you will have to buy the Optical cable separately--should not more than $15 at the most.

The unit does have one optical input. I would suggest, if your TV supports it, running the cable box to the TV and using the optical out of the TV. However, you could run the optical out of the cable box directly to this unit.

AV (DVD), and HDMI (PC connect) port are user friendly (i.e. connection and TV remote control) and work fine

no problem. Just plug the AV out into the input device red, yellow, and white inputs. Haven't tried the component cable since I use HDMI. Don't know if component works or not.

Yes that is what I use it for. Make sure your pc is set up to handle HDMI and sound . Also you need to setup TV.
