Syfy (1080i) has Ghost Hunters at 9 p.m. and the premiere of Ghost Hunters Academy at 10 p.m.

Really? Ghost hunters academy.. And here I am thinking you can only spell loser, "l o s e r". Wow.
I don't understand the downrank for deeznutz? Toslink is in fact the connection that provides the highest bitrate in this situation.
I've got to say this is a whole lot to do about, well not much. I understand you want the best sound but there is little to no option with this set up. I have the same issue and refuse to upgrade a receiver just to get more (not necessarily better) sound.

The best way to fix this is by properly calibrating your receiver and your tv. Make the best with what you have and be happy about it. Sound with an optical cable is more than adequate.

Go ahead, bash me and disagree but I bet the majority (as in 95%) of us wouldn't notice the difference between a 5.1 setup using optical than a 7.2 setup using hdmi.
ps - this is a massive rip off. You have to be an idiot to pay $100 (or even half that) for this.
What do you need a N connection for anyway? I don't play online so idk if it even makes an actual difference.
It's Hankook, not hancook. "all new 2010 Camaro built specifically as a drift car with Hancook Tire as the lead sponsor"
Boo baseball. Yayy Fringe.
$88? Wow. That is completely ridiculous. Just get some power over ethernet for $100. It's more reliable, easier to set up and you don't need an N router.
I agree with Isaac, buy used. For example Amazon has the planet earth collevtion for 27.50 + 3 for shipping.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
