Can you use HDMI on a Sky+ box? if not any suggestions for a 2m Scart lead?

Hi all


I have a Panasonic TX-P42G10 with Sky+ box


My question is:


1. can I use HDMI into the back of the SKy+ box - the reason is that there is not much room for the SCART lead plug behind the TV.


2. If I have to use a SCART lead - any suggestions? the THOR one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thor-Scart-to-1-5m/dp/B0009E66SW


3. can I buy a smaller scart? basically i had to dismantle the plug and just put the metal part of the plug into the TV


4. it better to fit an optical cable from my SKy box to my amp, or from the TV to the amp?


5. is it better to use RGB leads that SCART from TV to Sky box


 


Thanks in advance!
