coax cable from Skybox - getting audio into amplifier ?
skybox outputs video via HDMI socket to projector
is there a way to get the audio from the RF OUT on the sky box to my amp ? the amp has phono, optical and "coaxial dvd in" - which the connector doesn't look like your normal coax plug |
You want to use optical if you have 5.1.

I could use optical, but in this instance it would mean runnign a THIRD type of cable through the loft, which I want to avoid.
If at all possible I'd like to take the audio from the coax cable and put it in the amp. |
Why through the loft..? is the sky box miles form the amp?

I haven't seen one, but I wonder if it is possible to separate out the digital audio from the HDMI to go to a digi coax :wonder: |
I think by 'RF out' he's talking about the aerial type output, not a co-axial digital output from the sky box ? If this is the case he is barking up completely the wrong tree as the RF output doesn't carry stereo audio output, much less Dolby Digital ?

You can't take the audio from the RF out connection. You could take the optical out and get a converter to put that to digital, which would run over coax.

I've worked out a way to convert the RF OUT cable into stereo L+R phono, but it'll need a small box and power supply. But I want to keep it as clean as possible, so I think I'll just use a long optical / toslink cable. |

skyhd box is distributed around the house, and in this case goes to my HD projector and A/V amp. |
