Anyone with a soundbar via optical?
Discussion
Yep, I've got a Samsung telly and a Yamaha soundbar, and we have set the volume on the Sky remote to operate the soundbar volume instead of the telly.
We've also set the TV power button to operate both telly and soundbar so we don't need the soundbar remote at all. Only problem is that if you're not careful about aiming, you can end up switching telly on and soundbar off or vice versa.

I followed the instructions below to enable the Sonos playbar to work with the LG magic remote, it worked fine.
1) Go to the LG "Universal Control" and add a Philips (yes Philips) sound bar
2) Once done exit the setup and switch to your normal TV input
3) Bring up the LG on-screen remote by pressing the "123/QMenu" button
4) Choose the left/right arrows on top of the on-screen remote until a grey "S.Bar" button appears in the top row
5) Choose the "S.Bar" button which changes the on-screen remote to shrink, show a green "Phillips" button and more importantly the Vol+ and Vol- buttons
6) Launch the Sonos contoller, go into the remote control setup and choose "Replace Remote"
7) When the Sonos controller asks for the respective Vol+ / Vol- buttons use the ones off the on-screen remote from step 5
8) The mute button was not available on the on-screen remote so to complete the Sonos remote setup go back to step one and go through the same sound bar setup again which will give you the mute button on-screen as some of the button to test
