Hooking up a digital audio connection?

I have a new TV, Direct TV Receiver and my home theater receiver. All three have an optical outputs/inputs. I wanted to use this for the audio (my home theater receiver doesnt have HDMI so this is the next best I can do.) I tried hooking up the Optical line from the Direct TV receiver into my home theaters receiver but it didn't work. Should I go from the Direct TV receiver into the TV then into the home theater receiver, or just from the tv to the home theater receiver or what? I'm lost any help I would greatly appreciate.

It's been a while since I was installing DTV but I don't remember any digital audio connects on the standard receivers. Newer models could be different though. I do remember however some outputs/inputs on the HD receivers that were there for "future use," i.e. they were not connected to anything inside.

You may want to check your manual and see if that is not the case.

If not I hope some one else can help you.

You may want to check your settings. Your audio should work just fine by running the optical from the DTV box to the receiver, and make sure you are choosing the correct input as well. Make sure the cable isn't bad either.
