Sky+ and Sky+ HD Optical Audio Cables
If you have Sky+ and your own home cinema system, you can enjoy the full surround sound experience when watching Sky Movies, Sky Sports, or even the Simpsons by simply connecting your Sky+ box to your surround sound system with an optical cable. All Sky+ boxes will have an optical output on the rear so it is one of the cheapest upgrades you can make to your home entertainment system. You don't need to break the bank and go for a very expensive cable, and a fairly standard one should do. Just make sure it is well made, and long enough to not only reach your components, but to also allow room to move your devices out so you can access them.
There are a few cables below which should fit the bill perfectly:
