We got new cable boxes at home. They're pretty cool, talk to them to search, change channels, picture looks better on the 2 TV's...
The problem; the HT room box only has one out; HDMI. I run an old InFocus X1 PJ, and an Arcam AVR300 receiver.
The X1 uses a VGA cable, so in theory I could simply get an HDMI to VGA unit. But it would be nice to have audio also! :)
The Arcam only has digital Coax or Toslink input. For the life of me I can't find anything that will connect HDMI to both VGA and Toslink.
Anybody aware of such a unit?

 For the life of me I could not find on using Google, never thought of Amazon (never used Amazon so just didn't think of it).
Any experience with one? I did a bit of review reading and one buyer stated it would not work with a non-HD display. Then I re-arranged by customer review, and some better options pop up.

 No experience with them but I knew they existed. Good luck with your search.
