I am getting Sky+ installed on Friday.
I currently have a Hitachi 36PW810TN Dolby Dig/DTS TV, I run my DVD players optical output into the back of the TV and get glorious DTS/5.1 sound.
I am aware that the Sky+ also has an optical out for 5.1 sound - but my TV only has the one optical in socket.
How do I get two opticals into one socket. Is there some kind of switchbox available. My TV also has a Co-ax Digital in socket but this just feeds the same thing as the optical and the TV doesn't have an option to switch between the inputs.
I would prefer some switchable box rather than a passive one as both pieces of equipment will need to be switched on at once when I am recording TV on Sky+ whilst watching a DVD. DVD is on Scart 2 and Sky+ would be on Scart 1.
Surely others have got the same problem.
