Any one here with HDMI from STB to HDTV then digital audio from TV to a/v receiver?
Somebody in another Forum claims the following:
"The TV will not send 5.1 dig audio from the TV to the a/v receiver when the audio stream originated from HDMI. You will have to use an audio cable from the STB to the a/v receiver in order to get 5.1. The only way around this is an HDMI switching a/v receiver, currently around $4k! (plus a SECOND HDMI cable to go from the receiver to the TV!)"
Sounds very bizarre ! Can anyone here state that this is not the case?
