So i am correct in that i can feed the SkyHD source HDMI into an HDMI matrix splitter and optical to my amp in order to archive simultaneous video & DD sound through my main TV and HD video and mono sound to my bedroom TV (which is not connect to a DD amp)?

If you first split the PC SPDIF so that you can retain a local connection to the AV Amp plus be willing to toggle the PC between 2.0 and 5.1 depending where you want to view/listen then the combiner plus a matrix will work.
Once the PC is set to output 5.1 you wont hear anything on the TV's.

The PC solution appears to be more difficult to sort out. Perhaps it might be easier to use something like a Popcorn hour / WD HDTV for my bedroom setup. That way i won't lose DD from the PC in the lounge.
