First off, 8-10 meters away!? Why, and do you have a living room that is 24-30+ feet long to be able to do this? Does not matter how far away the DVD or Sat. feed box are from the tv. The easiest hook up and very decent picture would be to use the Ypbr cables you can pick up at any electronic store (do not let then talk you into any specific plated kind, the run of the mill will do...) These wires will come from your Sky box and DVD player into the LCD. They are the three different coloured wire hook ups at the back, blue, red,green also known as 'Component wires'. Use Digital optical out from your DVD and/or Sky box if present into your receiver, if receiver only has one input, input from the DVD (better sound) tv sound does not compare. Hope that helps a little, Enjoy.....
