Looking for some advice on getting a surround sound system set up.

I wouldn't say I am a noob but I need to know what options are available to me.

The set-up I have is

42 inch LCD TV with 1 digital optical output
PS3 - networked
1 TB NAS with all my films on it which stream through my PS3
SKY+HD full package

As I am sure you guys will know each the PS3 and the sky box also have digital optical outputs and the PS3 is a bluray DVD player.

Now I want to set up a dolby home cinema system, but because I already have a bluray player do not wish to have to buy a seperate bluray player to connect the home cinema system up to.

Is the only option then to buy a seperate amplifier and attach speakers to this.. which is really expensive.. or is there any other options available to me?

Thanks
Mark

an av receiver would do the job it is a combined processor & power amp in one and some come owith hdmi inputs & 1 or 2 outputs.

what budget did you have in mind?
