Okay I realize that HDMI is bad-arse as far as data rates for digital signals is concerned. But I'm not understanding if it's capable of handling digital audio? If I understand it correctly, would this schema below operate correctly:

I'm thinking of buying that for my parents system as we upgrade their Home Theater as cheaply as possible.
That receiver has a 3x HDMI inputs and 1x HDMI outputs. Does that mean I could HDMI the whole system and just get rid of digial coax and optical cables entirely?
This is the schema I'm imagining:
LCD HDTV <-------------------------------

BD Player DISH HD Tuner VHS Player ----> ANALOG VID to LCD
Thanks!
