Which show have 5.1 sound then? I have a sony box with optical out, maybe sky may think anout transmitting in 5.1 on sky one, I must be dreaming.
I think you have to have the Sky+ box for it to work. Most modern films shown on Sky movies Premier are already being broadcast in 5.1. I can't remember which TV shows are in 5.1 but there is a list on the dolby website.Originally posted by Timh

I should think it would be Anamorphic, else why bother.
But can you record it in 5.1, and can your record it in 5.1 on a DVD recorder? And if not why not as you are recording a signal!Originally posted by kevb

As far as I know on a Sky+ box your recording will have the 5.1 soundtrack as it's a digital recording onto a hard disk.Originally posted by Garrett

The pre-recorded ones are stamped and recorded in a 'non-live' setting which allows for greater data transfer. Ripped dvds have extras, menus and title stops removed and just the film left as a linear file often - or so I'm told. And not all see 5.1 as the be all and end all of life

not to offend any owners, but why bother with a dvd recorder if it cant do 5.1?
like recordable cd, recordable dvd will find itself superceeded before it matures.

minidisc and MP3 have both got a stronger hold than recordable cd.
With a good vhs recording, i could make a copy that was as good as the original.....

I would have to disagree with that one Buns. Minidisc is clearly on it's way out and never really got established in the first place. If anything MP3 has superceded Minidisc rather than CDR - due to the introduction of personal MP3 players. I would also argue that MP3 does not have a stronger hold than CDR but rather, it compliments it and indeed boosted CDR's popularity. After all, what do most people end up doing with their MP3's......burning them to CDR that's what.

How can you possibly do this? VHS recordings have a vastly decreased resolution to the original recording - even SVHS cannot match the original. [/B]
