Hdmi pass though, so you use the hdmi for sound, its only stereo?
I use hdmi pass though with my onkyo 606 but optical for the sound and this is still working ok.
I have just checked and my hdmi sound (only stereo) still works on hdmi pass though my onkyo 606 when the onkyo is in standby.
My Sky+HD is an original launch date thomson and had the new epg for some months now.
