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.

I feel your pain, Jack. Comcast in Fresno only delivers Dolby 5.1 for one station, ABC. The other two, NBC and CBS are 5.1 less. Heck, we don't even have fox in HD yet.

Oh, btw, I wish I could receiver them too...
