New sky hd box - does it have optical or co axial connection?

[micks_address]

Hi Folks,

Getting a new Sky hd box later in the week, i assume you can still only get DD 2.0 from the HDMI connection? Do new boxes have a co axial audio out connection by any chance? I am using both optical inputs on my avr1910.. i have a optical to co ax convertor so can use that if all else fails.. but would prefer not to, as its an extra little gizmo to have to plug in..

Cheers,

Mick

The new boxes have both optical and coaxial outputs. And yes they still only output stereo/DD2.0 over HDMI.
