Cable Patch Sound

Stuck with HDMI 1.3 TV (no ARC) and 1.4 receiver, what to do?
So I bought an LG 52LD550 and come to find out it’s HDMI 1.3 and, more importantly, does not support ARC.
I am going to use the NetCast feature by hooking the screen up with a patch cable. The question is: to get the sound from the TV to the receiver is my only option to use an optical cable? Is this going to limit the quality of the sound if I watch Netflix movies or listen to Pandora or are the high-end features of HDMI 1.4 applicable only to Blu-Ray? Can I run the sound from internet>tv>receiver with an HDMI cable?
You don’t say where you are connecting to the Internet (but it sounds like to the TV). However, HDMI only provides any real benefit for HD audio like DTS MasterHD .. and they are only available on Blu-ray. Optical is an extra cable, but it won’t compromise quality of the compressed audio available over from Netflix or Pandora.
