For games, the PS3 will let you "trick" it by connecting the adapter directly to it, enabling 3d mode, then putting the adapter back between the receiver and the TV, where it needs to be for the adapter to work, but it's not known for certain that 3d mode will stay enabled forever this way, and it appears that HD audio won't work with this setup once they release the blu-ray firmware.
So Mits has screwed even us Mits customers with the requirement to see a Mits TV EDID, DirecTV has screwed us by not allowing setups that put the adapter between the receiver and TV, and the blu-ray HD audio issue is just the nature of the beast. The only solution is to fork out money for an EDID spoofer, or complain to Mits and DirecTV (or whatever vendor you may have that is making this difficult for the customer).

Hi!
Just starting my first theatre room in a house I am building...getting ready for drywall, so I have to be sure I have all of the correct wiring in place (in the walls)!
Is the same true for DISH PVRs?
What about Panasonic 3D Plasma TVs? (e.g. TCP54VT25B that I haven't bought yet)
Do I need to run 2 HDMI cables, in the wall, to the TV?
A little confused because I thought the Onkyo was designed to do just this very thing?
Is an 8 series Onkyo a better choice?
Suggestions?
THANKS!
Ben
