Specific TV recommendations

[Rickster]

See posts #6, #12 & my connection diagram in #13 above - there is NO need for the TV set to be used to send OUT a digital signal at all - be it optical or coaxial - the converter box does all the digital & analogue audio / video conversion & connection duties from the DSTV decoder to the hi-fi AND the TV set...

And the Android box audio to the Hi-Fi, forgot to mention this.

I know the new TV will be smart but a dedicated one is better

Then you can go for this converter box instead - it has 4 x HDMI inputs & a remote... so you can connect both the DSTV decoder & the Android Streaming Box to it - it does have a remote as well - all the other input & output connections remain as per my amended diagram below - with this unit you also have the option of either optical or coaxial digital outputs as an added bonus:

Another alternative - this converter box is the same type as the one originally posted by Mike in #6 above - but this model has 2 x HDMI input ports - it also comes with a remote - otherwise all other features are identical...

Then your best bet is the last one I posted - as it has 2 x HDMI inputs & all 3 audio out options you may need to connect to your AV receiver - (Analogue RCA & Optical / Coaxial Digital Out), as well as the separate 3.5mm stereo headphone output...
