V+ box, new Panny PZ81 and sound from freesat

Hi everyone

Another call for advice. I am on the verge of buying the new Panny with Freesat (42PZ81)

I have a V+ box with the sound being sent to my Sony Home cinema (5.1 surround sound) set up via a toslink optic cable. If I connect up the new TV how can I get the good quality sound from the HD transmissions received via Freesat into my Sony Home cinema speakers. I want to keep my V+ box sound feeding into the Sony.

Is there such a thing as a combiner to enable 2 optic cables to be feed into the Sony H Cinema? as if so will it work?

Ideas very welcome.

Regards

Alec

Assuming your Sony amp doesn't have another optical input, a cheap optical switch like this will probably do the trick
