I have an HD DVR, I know it has HDMI. Honestly the Wii never occurred to me to hook up via HDMI, the graphics are pretty lame on it, I doubt HDMI will improve it at all.
In order for the surround sound system to get the digital audio signal from your HD components, it will most likely include an HDMI input switcher as part of the processor that you will have to connect through. You'll run all your device HDMI outputs into the switcher/processor, and then, from there, a single HDMI output to the display device.

The Wii graphics improvement over HDMI is likely negligible on smaller screens like yours.
