That sounds like the solution!
The TV will do the conversion from DD to PCM. FIOS box HDMI to my Sharp LCD. The TV toslink out to my Bechmark DAC1.
Right, Kal?

All I can say is that there's a menu option for my Panasonic V20A plasma which allows you to set the optical digital out to PCM so it should be possible on my TV. I can't test it since I don't have a DAC I could try this setting with.

The OP can check his TV's manual, or even just try the experiment. Since it requires no gear he doesn't have it's a cheap thing to try—only his time is at risk and very little of that.

  At least with the current display in his system listing: the Panasonic PT-50LC13 has no digital audio input or output. If his display has changed, perhaps it is now an option.

I have heard of digital (coax or optical) output from a TV with an HDMI source but I have no idea if the output is PCM or DD. What I have also heard is that this function (HDMI to coax/optical) varies greatly from TV to TV so I advise you to check the user's manual of the TV. I have never used such an arrangement.
