I have an onkyo reciever with just one optical in that I use for my dvd. Is there any other way to add another optical input so that I can run optical from my sat. reciever too. I dont know if they make any kind of hubs or splitters or anything. Thanks for the help.

Radio Shack is closing out their coax to optical converter for $10. Little box that works both ways. Has a 12v wall wart. It works. Hard to beat that deal.
