Optical hub

[Grouch]

I recently bougth a DSTV HD decoder and PS3 gaming console. My Sony Amp/Receiver only has one Optical input and no HDMI ports. I now have to swop my Optical cable between the DSTV and PS3 depending on what I want to use. Do you get something like an Optical hub or do anyone have any other suggestions?

Thx

Yup, you can get this. Very simple but still a manual switch

Otherwise this which goes via HDMI to optical & also supports video

Thx. I think I will go with the manual switch. Just flicking a switch will be much better than removing and plugging the cable.

Does the amp not have a coaxial digital input?

Not sure. Will check when I get home later.
