I recently bought a low cost HD satellite receiver:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HD-DVB-S2...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
It all works except there is no sound on HD channels with AC3 audio (only), such as BBC News HD.
The spec in the listing says:
Audio Decoder:
MPEG-1 layer I/II, PCM down mix, IEC958 SPDIF, Dolby 5.1 channel, Dolby down mix 2 channel, Dolby Prologic2 for options
I believe this should decode AC3 (Dolby Digital).
Interestingly the spec in the users manual is different:
MPEG-1 Layer I and II, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AAC.
So audio experts out there should this decode AC3 or not?
