[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1356220, member: 38928"] Do you have any other connections on your cable box and receiver? Perhaps a digital coax out on the cable box and in on the reciver? That'd free up the optical cable for the ATV. An optical splitter/combiner will work. I.e. optical from cable into adapter. Optical from ATV2 into adapter. Single output from adapter into reciver input. You just have to make sure that the adapter isn't JUST a splitter but that it works as a combiner too. and that when the ATV is on, the cable box is off, and vice versa [/QUOTE]
