Hi all, our old Sky+ box just broke, so we ordered a new HD box - lovely, except we connected the old box via S-video & 2 audio cables. The new box does not have that option. The AV receiver (Yamaha RX-V459DAB) has S-Video, component video, optical audio & separate Audio/Video jacks; no scart, no HDMI, no USB. It goes to a projector, which (of course!) has HDMI and other sockets, but we used the S-Video for that (from the receiver) as well. Any thoughts on how we connect the new Sky box to the existing system (i.e. can we run HDMI straight from sky box to projector and use optical audio to receiver for sound)? Or is it a case of once the technology is obsolete (S-video) you are supposed to lob a perfectly good receiver and fork out for a new one? Alternatively I suppose we could get a different set-top box, but I have no idea where to start with that.
Any advice gratefully received.
