Answer 1

I'm not sure, but it sounds like you are trying to do this

PS3 --> TV ---> Logitech speakers

with digital audio.

The PS3 must then be connected to one of the TV external inputs.  The problem is, most TVs will not pass through digital audio from an external input to their digital audio output.  You can get the sound from the TV speakers, but the signal is not sent to the TV's digital ouput.  If your cable box is sending RF to your TV, the TV will output that decoded audio via its digital output.

You may need to get an optical switch so that you can connect the PS3 digital audio out directly to the Logitech speakers.
