On the Hughes E86 HDTV receiver, the Dig. Dolby 5.1 output is via an Optical cable. My audio receiver (a Pioneer) has a digital coax cable input for 5.1 processing from an external audio component. Can I send the 5.1 output from the Hughes to my Pioneer for 5.1 sound? If so, how?
 
Rat Shack also sells one for far, far less. I've been using it for a few months w/ no problems. Can't remember, off hand, how much it cost exactly. I'm sure a quick perusal of their website would tell you......
 
Much better:
