red/white to a digital connection

Hello all,
Trying to get my home entertainment centre sorted and ran into a little snag.

Basically, my speakers have connections: 6ch analogue going into my PC, 2 digital optical (1 of which going to the PS3) and 1 digital coaxial left over. What i want to do is connect my TV to my speaker set, but the TV has only got audio out in 2 (RCA?) ports, one red and one white. So whats the ideal method of connection? cheers for your time.

P.S. Sorry if this a repeat. Been searching here and on amazon for cables for 2 hours but to no avail.

You need to free up some analogue inputs on the speakers, can't you run the PC to the speakers via digital?

The cheapest method would probably be to get a couple of RCA splitters, and connect the TV to the front analogue channels that the PC is connected to.

You could connect the TV to the PC's line in, then the PC will send the sound back to the speakers for you. Only drawback is the PC would have to be turned on to watch TV.

Otherwise you'll need a splitter or switchbox, so the TV, and PC can share the 6 channel analog input.

alright, thanks for the replies, i'll probably be getting a splitter.
