You need an AV receiver capable of handling HD audio formats - they start from about £400 at the moment - and a set of speakers.

But only the Blu-ray player will deliver HD audio: the TV will only output standard stereo audio, either via a digital output if it has one or conventional analogue outputs.

And the Sky HD box will only output stereo via HDMI - to get Dolby Digital 5.1 (which isn't HD, but as good as Sky can do) you will need an optical digital connection from the Sky box to the receiver.

Thanks again Andrew.

I was considering Onkyo 606 what speakers would you recommend?

Not silly money? Q Acoustics 1010i or Quad L-ite
