How could I connect a surround sound system to my tv, wii, xbox 360, ps3 and sky +? or maybe even my pc aswellCoughs
You really can't have them all plugged in at once, unless you have some giant mega splitter for all the sound cables to go into and come out as one.
because my sound comes out of my tv, if I just plugged it into my tv wouldnt it work the same as my wii, ps3, xbox360 and sky+ are plugged into my tv?Coughs
No. If you want your TV sound to come out of your surround sound system you'll need a digital coaxial cable to connect from the TV's output to the systems input. You can plug you console's video cables (yellow) into tv, but separate the sound cables (red and white) into the surround system.

That's exactly what you do
Everything feeds into the TV, then the TV out goes inot the receiver.
This is why component cables don't have two longer cables for the sound which I have no idea why people complain about it. If you have a higher end TV it outputs the sound, that is what's supposed to go to the receiver.

That's how I set mine up. I don't have to worry about changing sound devices, just put the TV to the proper place depending if I want to play one of my consoles, PC, DVD (though mine is the DVD-Stereo combo), or any other input; yes even my girlfriend's Karaoke (At least I know one whole song in Tagalog)Someone told me I connect the sound system to the audio output on my tv and then I connect my ps3, wii, xbox 360 and sky+ to my tv, Then my TV will send the sound from whatever one I'm using to the sound system? Is this true Yes Or No?

Yes, that's how you do it
All the systems feed into the TV, the TV feeds into the receiver.
