Get a powered HDMI switcher with a remote from monoprice.com - this is an excellent online store and they will save you a TON of money on cables. Hook up your HD deveices like your Dish HDDVR and HDDVD player to the switcher and you can use the remote to switch between. The ceiling mount get from mountdirect.com as I think someone suggested. I have an HD70 myself and use both of the items I recommended and the setup works well. For routing your cables, you can use a surface mounted fake beam or pillar and there is also some crown molding that has wire management designed into it for hiding your cables.
I have a real stinker situation on this HDMI cable.

See back when I owned my Z1 & my H31, I had already pre-wired all my cables from an outer wall (which was difficult!!) and I had to cut out a 8" x 8" hole in the sheet-rock wall because the wires would not go any further down (fishing it). At that time I had only wired S-Video and Component. I don't think I want to attempt to go up to the attic and attempt this again just for HDMI. I think I'll be fine w/ component. If I was to run anything HDMI I might just hook up temporarily an HDMI cable to a PS3 and put it on she shelf behind me (where the PJ would be ceiling mounted) and let the HDMI cable dangle. No-way.. not going over that again. That outter wall was a pain.
