    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    I've notice how the hookups have evolved since we got our equipment. They are definitely cleaner and neater, not to mention simpler to hook up.

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    I use three inputs on the AVR which are dvd, tape, and video 2. video 2 is the direct connection from the satellite receiver. Dvd is a direct connection from the disc player to the AVR, while "tape" is the connection from the tv to the AVR for off air programming. The "problem" arises...

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    OK, problem solved. There were two issues I was dealing with. The sound, and the lack of (DD) showing in the channel/program info window when it is opened. Apparently, contrary to what I was told by the techs, it does not appear when receiving 5.1 broadcasts. All that shows is...

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    We have two AVRs, but the question that lingers in my mind is why on the info does it only show Stereo and not DD. Even though one tv does not have an AVR, it used to show DD on the info pip.

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    Don't have a hopper. We have a vip211, a vip211k, and a vip722k dvr. The audio settings are sound leveling enable, Dolby Digital/PCM on and RF. Line is not accessible. On the program guide and on the programs themselves, all I can fing on the HD programs is (HD) (CC) (Stereo). Nothing is...

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    My problem has nothing to do with the installer. We've had the system up and running for six or seven years. We've replace two or three receivers that have gone bad, and the two antenna system was changed to a single antenna a couple of years ago when DISH went through some system updates. We...

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    I'd say the problem lies in the antenna or the connections between the antenna and the house. We certainly didn't have three receivers to south simultaneously. In my initial contact I went through all the step by step process with the advanced tech person to no avail. All the settings on the...

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    I understand they cannot broadcast in DD unless they receive DD. But, can they receive a DD signal and rebroadcast in stereo, or something less than DD? Here's my other issue. The first two techs I spoke with told me about how much bandwidth it takes to broadcast surround sound. To...

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    Here's the latest story I'm getting from DISH. They cannot broadcast in 5.1 unless the station from which they get the signal is broadcasting in 5.1. How much DD programming are you receiving from DISH? We have a 160 dollar per month package which includes all the premium movie channels...

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    I started having the same problem on all our HD receivers. I don't think it's a receiver problem. I suspect that Dish has either eliminated or cut back most of the Dolby Digital service they have had. I called advanced tech service and chatted with advanced tech service. All settings are...
