My pc has a dvi, vga, hdmi video card. Currently the vga & dvi connect my pc monitors. I want to be able to connect the hdmi to my tv as a 3rd monitor when needed. I have a Denon AVR-S500BT receiver. It has several in ports but only one out. My equipment to connect are the tv, direct tv box, ps3. I want audio and video from pc to play on the tv when needed and also be able to switch to direct tv. Is this possible and if so whats the correct method?
 
plug everything into the received. plus the receiver into the TV. or just connect the PC to the TV with HDMI. just like you hook anything up.
 
Depending on your graphics card, you may need to disable one of the other monitors in order for HDMI to the TV to work.

Solution
connect the HMDI from your GPU to your receiver, from that HDMI to the TV. you are going to need to fiddle around with some settings. but it should work
