No the amp connects via optical (SP/DIF) to the TV's optical out which should just pass on the digital audio signal from the HDMI device (PS3 or Sky+HD) but the TV seems to be messing around with the audio and only outputting PCM which is obviously no good if the input audio is Dolby Digital 5.1, when i connect the individual device to the auxiliary optical in on the HT system, the correct audio is output (Dolby Digital or PCM depending on the audio source)
