ok recently ventured into FTA and some of the channels don't have sounds so i found that it was AC3 .... now i'm in my computer/satellite room it has no system for sound . my surround sound system for the living room isn't able to do ac3.
1)I can get a small 5.1 system for less than $100
2)I can add pci card to my computer to do 5.1
3) found a usb that can do 5.1 http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-MOVEABLE-USB-6-channel-5-1-PCI-Sound-Card-N5IN1_W0QQitemZ320036862950QQihZ011QQcategoryZ3708QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
now i don't do alot of sound. so quality isn't that high of a priority, surround sound is neat . but other that having a very basic ( older RCA model) A/V system
So i don't know anything about AC3 or about usb sound cards, can add it to my pc but via pci card but will have to check for slot & also wonder if will have problem with on board sound ( might can disable it).
What are your thoughts ... or what did you do to add AC3
I don't have HD (tv) although have considered the usb version of FTA receiver for my next (after sound) addition.
