This is why my next purchase, instead of a new TV, will be a new receiver. That way I'll have all the HDMI coming into the receiver, where all the audio can be handled, and have a single cable to the TV.
This may be probably a more typical EU setup, but cables would be 2 if your digital TV decoder is built into the TV itself, as it usually happens here. In such case, TV audio would either output to the TV speakers (stereo, usually), or you would have to output to the reciever itself to get the 5.1 channels, when available: cable nr 2 from TV to receiver.
Anyway, that would be my ideal setup as well. Onkyo's are nice receivers, and some of the more expensive models even have two HDMI outputs in case you want a TV AND a Projector screen, for example.
