How do I set the optical cable so I can get 5.1 input to the onkyo, iv tried everything but when I press the display button it always says 2.0 input and 5.1 output
 
Have you selected dolbyd for the optical output within the settings of the sky box? Are you sure the amp is taking the sound from the optical input and not the hdmi? Are you sure he program you watched had a 5.1 soundtrack?
 
Thank you for your help seems I was having a blonde moment, the program I had on whilst trying to setup was not a 5.1 program *embarrassed*
There ain't many 5.1 program's is there? Nothing from the bbc or itv

Sky1HD is one of the better channels but also BBCHD has some too. Most american drama series are 5.1.
