One for the tech bods please.
The optical out on my tv has broken. My soundbar only has an optical connection.
Is it possible to buy a connector that will convert an optial in from my soundar to a a HDMI port on my tv so I can continue to use my soundbar? 
I am hoping to not have to buy a new tv or soundbar

Thanks as always .
