Looking for a Blu-ray with built in 5.1 surround, that I can also plug my xbox and sky hd box into.

Tv is panasonic txp42g2oba so was looking for a panasonic unit so that the viera link thing would work!

Found this one - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&am... in the local store but the staff were useless and offered no advice as to wether I could connect the 2 extra peices!

From what I can see looking on Panasonic's site and downloading the manual from this page (top item shows setup connections:

http://www.panasonic.co.uk/html/en_GB/Products/Hom...

This system has one optical input (for your Sky box) and one analogue stereo input (not sure if this will do for the XBox?). You could buy a separate optical switching box from somewhere like 'Keene' or maybe Amazon if your XBox only outputs sound via optical.

Check Amazon's daily deals - I've just ordered a Panasonic "BTT755" - outgoing model, but at £90 off what was already the cheapest price going it seemed too good to miss...esp as it got a very good review in What HiFi.

They MIGHT still have one available if you're lucky.
