Home Cinema Setup

I have got a 32" Cello LCD Tv, with a Sky Box, Xbox 360, DVD Player and PC Connected to it.

I am trying to connect my PC by DVI>HDMI but thats another question which im working on.

Basically, what system would i need to connect

TV
Xbox 360
Sky
DVD
PC

To a 5.1 Surround Sound setup? My budget is about £150. I could live without the DVD being connected, but the rest are quite vital.

Cheers

Jamie

Re: Home Cinema Setup

your budget is a bit tight.
i would rule out an all-in-one,with a dvd player,as,well you have a dvd player,and most all-in-ones wont have enough inputs for your needs,so if you could up the budget to closer to £200,you could get a receiver/speakers package for roughly that.
you have yamaha,sony,etc..
what style/size/no.of speakers/size of speakers have you in mind.

Re: Home Cinema Setup

you would need to check what inputs/outputs you have,add some more info on what tv,etc..and also it would be best to make a topic yourself,rather than hi-jack someone elses.
