Are you sure the SKY box has digital co-ax out?
Either way digital co-ax and optical produce the exact same results.
 
No problem - its what I do.

My old Marantz DVD player was co-axial and Sky+ Optical.

When I got my Sammy HD I had to plug that in via Optical. Luckily my Pace Sky HD box has both types of out - the the co-axial is used for this.
 
Optical is my connection of choice too but either is fine.
 
+1 for coax, personally I find it slightly clearer. I have my new samsung hd box connected by coax and have no problems whatsoever and it sounds very good for broadcast - recorded The Faculty off SciFi HD and the 5.1 track was really good. Considering I mostly listen to lossless tracks on bluray, i was quite surprised.
