So this guy isn't running all his components to his home theater receiver ? Then run one HDMI from the receiver to the TV. I must be missing something here.
What you're missing is that the TV only has HDMI inputs, not outputs. You can't run everything through the receiver because then you won't have video.

Not trying to be a dick but I still don't understand. I run my cable box, DVD, PS3 etc to the receiver. Then I run one HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV. What am I missing ?

You actually can..I have one at home that accepts HDMI and outputs one HDMI..HOWEVER...I choose to not use the receiver as a middle man and go to/from the TV

I've been popping cold medicine all day, so I'm a little hazy, but this isn't making any sense to me. The whole purpose of HDMI is 1 cable for video and audio. I have an Apple TV, xBox 360, Blu-Ray Player and cable DVR all running to a receiver with 1 HDMI each. I then have 1 HDMI from the receiver to my TV. I have full sound and video for all components, including surround sound from the XBox, Blu-Ray and DVR.

What? I have 4 HDMI inputs going to my receiver, which switches them and passes everything to the tv via 1 HDMI out. I have no issues with audio or video from any of my devices (Roku, tablet, cable, and Blu Ray)

Wut??????
Ok, to clarify. A surround sound receiver with HDMI in passes the video through to a TV with an HDMI input. This is the preferred method as you can plug all of your inputs in the the receiver, PLAY THE SOUND for all inputs on your system and PASS THE VIDEO through to the TV via the HDMI monitor output on the receiver.
This allows you to park the TV on one input and switch sources through the receiver. This is the preferred and best method for switching sources as some brands of TVs have a clunky interface when it comes to changing sources. Additionally when I program a remote or home automation system for these functions it is much more reliable to switch the a receiver or surround processor.
