Panasonic SC-BT200 set up - will this work

Hi, I'm planning to buy the following system and want to know if it will connect (principally do I have enough "inputs/outputs").

TV Panasonic TX-L37G10

Home cinema - SC BT200

(HDMI out - 1
Comp out - 1
Optical in - 2
Analogue audio in - 1)

DVD/VCR combo - DMR-EZ48

SKY+ HD box

Logitech Squeezebox

Here's my thinking - I want Home cinema, sky+, and a dvdrecorder (to record from sky+) also I want to connect my squeezebox to the speakers thru the home cinema av unit

I could buy a separate AV unit which will have all the inputs I would ever need, but I like the idea of the Viera link which would avoid the bother of a separate remote.

I don't need to connect the dvdr thru home cinema - only to the SKY box (and TV), because I will obviously play dvd's on the cinema unit

Presumably sky connects to 1 optical input on the home cinema, tv to the other, but what about the squeezebox? can I use the Analogue audio In?

My brain's hurting at the various options. I have a small room so sound quality not fantastically important, convenience is.

just bought this panasonic scbt200 myself(not setup yet), which leads me to ask why would you want to connect both sky box and tv to the system? do you really watch tv that is not sky? I'll use both optical inputs for skyhd & Xbox. My main concern is whether there is enough cable to run 2 speakers to the opposite end of the room

Yes that should all work - TV and Sky+HD certainly. Not familiar with the squeezebox but if it has analogue outs then can't see why it wouldn't work.

I have the SC-BT200 myself by the way and am loving it
