Most network and premium cable shows broadcast Dolby digital 5.1.


Most do? Is that true down there? Again, I'm curious... not up on what American stations are making available.

I'm reasonably sure the networks send a 5.1 signal, but whether or not you receive it depends on whether your local affiliate puts out a 5.1 signal. In my town, my NBC and Fox affiliates pass along the 5.1 signal, while the ABC and CBS affiliates don't.

There are, of course, a number of digital and HDTV networks (INHD, TNT, Discovery, HBO etc.) that send a 5.1 signal directly to my cable company, and I receiver those with no problem.
