Can anyone confirm or deny that you can get 5.1 sound (via digital optical out) from a Sky HD box that's only receiving a standard definition picture?

Or is 5.1 audio confined soley to the HD signal as I suspect?


I just phoned sky and asked them. Said they had no idea. Told me to check the website.

Told them I already had and the info wasn't there.

Told me to Google it!!!

Morons!

Surely this is a reasonable standard question.

Cheers.

One more thing fellas,

I have this big pimpy audio system right.
So, if I send a regular stereo audio feed to it, and put it through 5.1 speakers; will it (could it) (should it) enhance the audio quality.
Or would it reduce it.
Is stereo sound best heard through 2 speakers, as god intended?


Apologies. I realise this is in the wrong forum, but it related to my first question.

Done.

Don't suppose you can answer my questions by any chance.
