Dreambox 8000 HD,

Motorized
LNB with 2 outputs, 2nd output leading to upstairs and using Dreambox 500S.

Instead of using optical from the box to an AVR for audio and HDMI to TV for video, can I connect straight to the AVR via HDMI and remove the optical?
If yes, when the AVR is powered off (just on standby) will the signal still pass through to the tv?
Also, now that there's 3D now, and the my amp being v1.3 and not v1.4, will I still get 3D from the box to the tv??
If I am able to do this, what options become available (audio and video) i.e, 7.1 surround sound, more selection of audio formats, Dolby Digital, DTS, THX etc etc??
