I connected my surround directly to the Sky+HD box via Optical last night and watched Avatar on Sky+HD and it came through with awesome Dolby 5.1 Surround like it should, I tried switching the optical back into the TV and it was coming through in Stereo PCM so it's definitely got something to do with the TV, the trouble is I am worried that constantly switching the optical between the PS3 and Sky Box might wear out the connectors, is there some sort of switch you can get?
