No problem - the Sky box doesn't output 5.1-channel DD through HDMI, only stereo. For surround (on those programmes offering it) you need the optical connection too, or electrical digital on some of the most recent Sky+HD boxes.
The problem the update fixed was that previously the receiver wouldn't actually let you select - or 'assign' - a different digital input if there was sound on the HDMI, which you need to do for Sky for the reason above.

daveh75:sky only output's stereo via hdmi, to get 5.1 dd you need to use the optical connection
Or coaxial if you have one of the latest HD boxes.
