I'm looking at a few soundbars to run directly from the optical out on my tv,

I don't want to have a different remote just for controlling the volume, is it possible to use my sky+hd remote like I do with the TV currently?

I've had success with this with amps from Onkyo, Denon, and Yamaha so it might be worth a look. Can't guarantee anything though.

The Sonos Playbar will learn a current remote. I use the one from my Humax freeview player to control volume on it, so I would think it is similar for the Sky remote.

My understanding is that the optical out on most TVs is already volume-adjusted by the set...
