RE: Advice please..

Yes, firmware upgrades for the PS/3 are readily available and are considered do-it-yourself material.

You might want to inquire about your specific HDMI-equipped satellite receiver, because I gather that some simply don't do HDMI very well. But for connecting my PS/3 and Toshiba HD DVD player to my late-model LCD TV, it's great: Minimal cable clutter and the signal remains digital throughout.

HDMI is a whole story in itself: I think it was probably brought to market prematurely, and you hear stories about devices not communicating at all, losing connection, or audio and video losing synch. But my gear is all new, probably using HDMI v1.3 throughout, and maybe that's why I've had no problems.

The Wikipedia entry for HDMI (below) gives you a rundown on what HDMI v1.0, 1.2, 1.3/a/b mean to you. (but basically, you probably want 1.3)
