I am taking delivery of an HD TV soon. I am also up grading my cable to HD+. I have a Bluray Player already which plays everything! So, I would like to connect them all up. I would like to play films from my PC, can I connect them all up?
I am not sure how to do it! Please Help Me?

You can connect them all up. As far as your PC goes well... if your GFX card has a VGA port then you will need to make sure that your TV has VGA port as well.. Same with HDMI.

In terms of Sound you will need to get 3.5mm Jack to Phono in order to get sound either going to your TV or Blu Ray player.

And connect the Blu Ray player with Optical / Spdif if your TV has that connection.

The rest you will have to use your TV for sound unless your Blu ray player has enough connection to be connected to the BD player in order to get the sound from the Blu Ray player. If it doesn't then you would need to invest in an AMP.
