Here are the facts:
1) First, I got my HDTV mounted on my wall and had the installers connect two HDMI cables to it -- one for my HD DVD player and one for my DirecTV receiver that I had yet to order. They told me to simply plug in my HDMI jack into my receiver and I'd be good.
2) The next day, when I had DirecTV installed, I was only able to get a standard definition DVR/receiver, not an HD receiver. Because of this, they were unable to plug that HDMI cable into the receiver because it didn't have an HDMI hole in the back.
3) Instead, they got those standard RCA jacks (red yellow white) and connected it to my HDTV. Now I have an unsightly cable connecting the receiver to the TV (unlike those two HDMI cables that are nicely hidden).
My question:
How can I work around this? I don't think there's an option to run the RCA cables behind the wall because I don't know how to do that. Can I take the HDMI cable and convert it to RCA somehow so it can plug into the receiver?
