Also, good call on the Toslink. For some reason I wasn thinking it couldn't do 7.1.

The splitter downgrades to the lowest common denominator. Say one TV is 720p and the other is 1080p, the splitter can't send two different signal types, so it will downgrade to 720p so that both TVs can display a signal. It's the same principle for audio. You can try it, I'm just saying it won't work for some TV, receiver combinations.
I'm not positive a 7.1 from a toslink cable works as I haven't used 7.1 but I know Dolby Digital 5.1 works and is probably the easiest fix if you can get along without HD audio.
on the other hand I ordered this powered splitter about a week ago as it will give me some options I want to try and for the price it ain't a bad deal.
