ssdaven,
1. A terabyte is a pretty significant drive. Unfortunately, the WiseLink units only support a Fat16/Fat32 format, and not the NTSF format, which is usually found on those larger drives. The drive itself may work, however the space you're available to store on that drive may be limited by the Fat32 or Fat 16 format.
2. Game Mode will remove much of the processing that causes lag. This was a huge feature for gamers, as sacrificing picture quality is often an acceptable trade for reducing the lag (delay) of fast action piture in video games.
3. I'd hook up the Rogers HD box with optical directly to your home theater system. HDMI does transfer 5.1, however the speaker system in the television itself is 2.0. So whatever signal goes into the television is trasferred into 2.0; optical pass through is not available, and the optical ports are only for OTA broadcasts.
I hope that helps, and let me know if I can help with anything else.

So I went out and bought a 1TB external hard drive, only to bring it home and discover that the LN750 doesn't support USB hard disk drives, only thumb drives. Is there any way around this? I'd really like to have this functionality.
Second, I am curious about the Entertainment mode settings. How does the Game Mode (for example) improve the picture when I'm playing games? Are the Game, Movie and Sports modes simply presets of the regular settings that I can choose the set manually, or will I get superior picture by choosing one of these modes over not using them?
And my final question.. I currently have my television hooked up to my Rogers HD box with an HDMI cable. I also have an optical cable connecting the rogers box to my 5.1 surround sound stereo. Will the optical be used for audio over the HDMI? Am I connecting the optical audio cable up correctly? I have 4devices involved each with optical audio ports on them (the tv, the Rogers box, the stereo receiver and a Playstation 3), and I would like to have the best sound quality. When I'm watching TV should I have the optical cable going from the TV to the stereo? From the Rogers box to the stereo? Thanks for reading!
