OK, I've tried figuring this out online, but I seem to be missing something.

Will A/V receivers eventually be able to receive, digitally (HDMI or Optical, I guess?), Dolby True HD or DTS HD from an HD-DVD or Bluray disc? Or will I have to use the analog inputs?

To my understanding, these are both full 7.1. Will players be able to decode this at full rates and send, analog, the signal through 8 cables to a receiver?

I just want to make sure I am future proof in my next receiver purchase.

Thanks guys.
