For people with problems with 5.1 output via s/pdif, have you tried AC3filter?

Still cannot receive ITV on HD - the error rate is massive and all I see on screen is a noisy frame every few minutes. Presumably ITV are broadcasting at a much smaller power level than BBC (I'm near Canary Wharf).
I dont see that much difference in signal strength from here in N London, maybe your suffering from clutter in your area?

After RTFM I now have the correct audio being reproduced. I even bought TSReader and can now stream the live pictures and audio albeit poorly. So, now its time to treat myself to a new CPU & MB, any recommedations given I want to keep my (AGP) graphics card for now and I need regular PCI slots (3 if poss) for the other cards in the current setup?
