I do not know what you mean by saying you have only 2 HDMIs on your tv when what I suggested means you only need one.
You have 3 HDMI sockets on your amp. One is for output to your TV. The other two are imputs. Connect the output one to your TV. Plug your HDMI from SKY-HD into one of the imputs. Leave the optical audio as you have it. Connect any other audio/video to receiver HDMI, component, composite, optical etc. Then assign the inputs for various devices connected. Your manual will explain how.
If of course you would rather leave it the way it is. That is fine. It is your receiver. Several people here have tried to explain to you and your choice is to ignore them. I hope somebody else here will benifit from the answers given here.

I for one found the answers given very straight forward & easy to follow,my thanks.
I do have what could sound like a silly question. to anyone familiar with HDMI. I at present have HDMI sockets on the DVD player & the DVD/HARD disc recorder,these aren't used because my current amp & tv don't have HDMI sockets..It's connected to a couple of freeview boxes via scart leads & co-ax & optical audio leads..
I'm thinking of buying a Panasonic HD TV with freesat & a new amp.My problem is the scart leads,whatever i read about HDMI refers to HD, but at the same time seems to say that HDMI replaces the scart leads.It's the reference to H.Definition that's confusing me.
As i will for the time being only be watching freeview TV,will i be able to remove all the scart leads from the set up once i connect via HDMI cables.
If i can't do this i will just be adding more cable to the mass of cables already there.
If you buy the Panasonic freesat screen, you can connect your amp to the tv by optical or coaxial for surround sound. You can also connect your dvd player and HDD dvd player to the screen by hdmi and again coaxial or optical from dvd players to the amp. No scarts needed. This will give you freesat sound from your amp, sound and video from your dvd players.
Thanks G,should get rid of some clutter.At the moment i don't have a satellite dish,which is the reason i won't be using Freesat.I will be using the aerial connection for a while which i believe uses the normal RF socket on the TV & connects via the built in freeview tuner.
If i understand correctly there is a seperate socket on the TV for the dish connection.
