Connecting TV, Sky HD and Home Cinema Kit

I have bought a lot of new equipment and am getting confused how to connect it all up.

Equipment is Samsung Smart LED TV
Samsung 3d Bluray Home Cinema Kit
Sky+ HD 1TB Box

From what I understand I run an HDMI from Home Cinema Kit to the TV to get picture. I also run an HDMI from Sky HD box to TV therefore the TV takes two HDMI inputs.

I also run an Optical cable from the Sky Box to the Cinema Kit to give me sound from Sky.
Does this achieve all I need and to best quality?

Only issue I have noticed using this setup with my current Sky+ box connected is when I play movies downloaded via the Smart Hub on the TV. These are only playing through the TV speakers and not the Cinema kit. Guess this makes sense as its only the Sky sounds going to the amp. Do I need to connect the TV back into the amp to get these movies in surround sound or is that possible?

Experts please help.
