My Sky HD box is connected to an Arcam receiver using the optical link and set to output dolby digital when available. The screen on the Arcam shows what audio type is being received, either DD5.1 or anything else is translated into DD2.0 - DTS neo cinema.
Why are most HD programmes broadcast using Dolby Digital 2.0? surely it is better to broadcast in DD5.1?
I do not understand why when all the Jools Holland programmes are advertised on the BBC as being wonderful high quality picture and sound they only run it in dd2.0?
Crap factor is also in DD2.0 and I am surprised that Downton Abbey which has a massive production budget also only transmits in DD2.0
Is it that Sky charge extra to programme makers to send the 5.1 signal
Your views please???
