the old sky boxes wont output dolby through hdmi you will need to run optical
I have the latest sky HD box with built in wifi and wps button on it. that has the option for dolby and works great
on my dodgy sky box (openbox) I had to change the sound to bitstream for the amp to pull the dolby from it same goes with the ps4

Literally just did a software update , no difference. The box is 5/6 years old now , wonder how much Sky would charge for a new one ?
Edit - £149 for me

Finally got my amp dialled in. I realised that if I turn the device on first (say the bluray player) the amp would just let me select any audio setting but dolby isn't an option. However if I turn the amp on first , when I turn on a device it auto selects dolby 
Next was the Sky issue , which was solved by an optical cable and the same as described above, it auto selects dolby now when before it wasn't even an option.
