WDTV+Surround Sound+TV Setup

    I'm setting up this for a friend. He has a plasma tv connected to his skyhd+ through hdmi cable. He has a surround sound system (sss) and I think, not 100% sure but he has this connected to the sky+ box with the red/yellow cables so he uses this for his sound. He bought a WDTV media center and wants this connected obviously to the tv but through the surround sound also. When I checked the sss it doesn't have an optical in audio. It does have an hdmi port.

    He's using a hdmi switch at the moment to switch between the wdtv and sky+

    Any ideas to get this working with sound? Much appreciated ;)

    The WDTV Live has a setting to set the sound to go through optical or HDMI cable.

    Good stuff, I thought you said Live but the old one works with sound over hdmi it just won't down mix DTS sound. Needs a live or a gen 2.
