I have got a Samsung 42" plamsa jobbie which according to the samsung website has got anynet+ on it.

As I fancy getting a BluRay player I thought I might get a Samsung BlueRay Home cinema kit with the Anynet+ on it. My mate says that this Anynet+ works well. Is this true?

Also as I have a XBOX for games I can output the sound through optical. Do the Samsung Surround sound jobbies have optical input?

ETA thinking about this I could do with two optical inputs, on for the sky box. until i upgrade to SkyHD.

The ones I have seen normally just have 1 optical input and this is used for the TV. You connect a HDMI and an optical from the TV to the cinima kit then the Anynet takes over and mutes the TV sound and remaps the volume on the tv remote to work the cin kit instead of the TV. Any sound then inputted to the TV via the scarts will be sent via the optical to the cin kit but there is no facility for anything else that does 5.1. I guess they must do a cin kit with more than 1 digital input, I just havent seen one thats all.
