hi
I recently had  a new installation done with my hdpvr where an hdmi splitter was used and the signal distributed with cat 6 cable and cat6/hdmi converters.
Is it possible to get surround sound(dolby 5.1) in the second viewing environment for dstv. At the moment im only getting 2 channel pcm for all the channels?
Is this a limitation of my installation or is there a problem with the splitters/converters or perhaps even the decoder?
thanks in advance
regards
