what outputs does your Blu-ray player have?

your best bet will be to buy an HDMI switch box and then the following set up:
Sky HD -> HDMI lead -> HDMI Switch box
Blu-ray -> HDMI lead -> HDMI switch box
Switch box -> HDMI to DVI lead -> TV

with both Sky and the Blu-ray player you will need a way to play the audio, if you have a surround sound amp then use that, if you only have the TV for audio then you will need to use phono cables from both the boxes to the input on the TV (though only 1 can be plugged in at a time)

if you have an amp with HDMI audio then you can replace the switch box in the "diagram" above with the amp but SkyHD only carries stereo sound through HDMI and 5.1 through optical
