Also can i play a 1080p hd dvd on my 1080i tv and do i have to have a 1080p hd dvd player or can i use a 1080i one?

Answer
You probably have a 720p/1080i TV and NO it is not pointless to get an HD player.
The player can be set to output in 720p, 1080i, or 1080p. Even at 720p the picture will look great.
Technology always moves on, I am sure your next TV will be 1080p.

How do i hook up a surround system with no hdmi to an hdtv and dvd player?

Can I run my dvd player to my tv via hdmi and than my tv to my receiver and play the sound from my dvd player to the surround that way? I am so lost... My surround sound system is an onkyo ht-s990thx 7.1 and my tv is a mitsubishi 1080p and my dvd player is a sony.

Answer
If your Sony DVD player has HDMI output, then yes, connect it to the TV's HDMI input.

You didn't say what model DVD player you have, but it probably doesn't include audio in the HDMI output. For that you need a separate digital audio cable, which you'll connect from the DVD player to the Onkyo receiver, not the TV.

There are two kinds of digital audio connections, optical and coaxial. Depending on what kind of output your DVD player has, you'll need either a TOSlink optical cable or an RCA coaxial cable.

Using this cable, connect the DVD player's digital audio output to the Onkyo receiver's digital audio input (the Onkyo has both types). These cables are cheap, less than $5.

Then you'll have great picture and sound, although you'll have to switch the Onkyo to the correct audio input to hear the DVD audio.
