The official term for the coaxial digital input is S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format). Punch "optical S/PDIF adapter" into a search engine and you'll get lots of options, shouldn't cost more than $30usd. There is a generic "grey box" that's sold under many brand names that works fine, available at Radio Shack etc.

You may not be able to get it to work through your receiver due to the HDMI HDCP copy protection feature. The Starchoice tuners have to be set up to allow the display on your brand of TV and Receiver. If your brand of receiver isn't supported as an HDCP-compliant device, then you won't see a picture. You'll have to connect directly to the TV and run a coaxial or optical digital cable to the receiver for the audio.
