Ah yes, looks like you're right Des. The Sky+ box does have digital audio
out :-) but it's optical not coax. I've not connected mine yet as Amp in in
AV room and box is in Node0 upstairs. Was going to try an optical to coax
converter and run it via Cat5 but haven't tried that yet.

Is he not looking to send the audio signal from his sky box to the amp?


I know bugger all boxes have a digital audio out (Sony?) but thats the way
I
read it.

Cheers, Des.
