I am picking up the box tomorrow and installing it myself. A couple questions:
1) Can I hook it to my TV with an HDMI cable and just switch the input to HDMI, or do I have to use coaxial? My TV is 1080p native.
2) I forgot to ask the cable guy on the phone this question: will I get my local channels in HD as well as the cable channels that are available in HD, or do I need seperate equipment?
3) I have a speaker system that uses optical audio cables. Will I be able to plug that in directly to the cable box?

Any help would be apprechiated! Thanks.
