Yes, it's EXACTLY the same. They can triple the price when they put "digital audio coax" on the packaging.

And then I'd need a separate video out to video in cable?
John.
Yes, and I'd use s-video since you have it. It'll be the highest quality that the cable box can output.

As for getting all of your various boxes/receivers/controllers working, consider getting a super-remote like a Logitech Harmony. 1 button will turn on everything needed, and it's smart enough to handle running multiple pieces at once, turning different things on for TV/DVD/Video games/etc...good stuff.
