Does any one know if the hopefully soon to be released VOOM HD PVR will be able to also record and playback the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack for programs that include it. It would be a bumber if we wait all this time for the DVR only too find out it will only support 2 channel Stereo playback, even if the original show had the sound track recorded in DD5.1
This was a big plus for the Ultimate TV PVR when i was a DirectTV subscriber 3 years ago, some other PVR's would not cature and play back the DD5.1 soundtrack and only allowed you to store a stereo 2 channel sountrack.
I am not sure how the current DirecTV and DishNetwork HD PVR's work, do they allow you to store and playback DD5.1 sound along with the video stream. How about the Cable PVR's do they allow DD5.1 playback.
I am willing to wait untill the end of march to hear something official about the VOOM PVR, but if it will only support 2 channel Stereo playback it is not worth it and i will look into other options besides voom now. Don't get me wrong, i love my VOOM service, i just want a fully functional HiDef PVR including good DD5.1 audio capture and playback. I am willing to wait for it another 3 months before i get ancious!!
