I have just upgraded to Sky HD and want to get a good (good value that is) blu-ray home cinema system also. I want to be able to connect my Sky HD box (Amstrad 250GB) to this system via optical audio cable. Is this possible? Does the Sky HD box have optical audio out and can it be easily configured to send this audio to my cinema system?
Also, does anyone have any recommendation for the best cinema system to go for in this case? Don’t want to spend a fortune but also want something good.

Thanks
