That way you still get to use your surround sound system when watching TV or playing on your Xbox, rather than having each of their audio outputs going into a switch, then going into the sound system.

Not the best sound possible, but much easier than having a switch box.
oh ok. i think it's a good example as to why not to get those htib systems. or to pay attention to the inputs/outputs for future proofing.
