Do you want the AppleTV video out to your TV and Audio out to your receiver? Then you would use an HDMI cable to connect AppleTV and HDTV and TOSLink (digital-audio fiber cable) from AppleTV to receiver. That is what I do.
Some recevers take video and audio from the AppleTV and send both to the HDTV. The receiver is a HDMI switcher. So HDMI cable AppleTV to one of the receivers HDMI inputs and HDMI cable receiver hdmi-out to HDTV.

When I get home tonight I will try that. Just need to get another HDMI cable.

optical audio to sat box?? This is how I have it now.
Thank you for the speedy reply.

I don't understand why you would connect your AppleTV to the "sat box". You would connect your "sat box" audio and video to the HDTV or Receiver.
I am a newbie at this. I will get another optical cord, and try to hook everything up. Thank you for your help.
