Digital Cable????


I just had D/Cable installed thinking I was getting the most in visual/audio. I am buying and having a home theater installed and figured that the audio from D/C would be utilizing all the modern tech. of the new a/v rec.'s... Is it true, could it be that when I watch a movie, HBO,MAX, ect in digital cable that the audio will be pro logic at best??? Sounds like a serious flaw in technolgy to me..

Not sure about the question here.Sounds like you're talkng about SS /audio from a sat. brodcast. ? Well if this is what we're talking about;There are DD movies on pay perview.The recievers only have toslinc out,so the quality is limited.Copy protection is the issue.Toslinc will make sure you don't make to good a copy.I have yet to hear of any device capable of copying DD or DTS,other than 2 vcr's and trying to sync them.(impossible) Just have to enjoy the Pro Logic,and for REAL sound,count on DVD.
Hi again.If you live in what is called a "fiber optics area"(I do) you do get a coax out from the cable co box. Get this: the coax is only active on the 30 music stations / no sound for mtv, hbo, etc.Gotta use the anolog outs for those stations.Thank you Time Warner. But they now have S-vhs out on these boxes.I'm a dss customer with a modified Sony box with a coax out.This is the older box/ as in no DD. With a dss box, it has remote antenna switching,so your tv doesn't have to have this feature.I installed a $19.95 Radio Shack, roof antenna/as compared to spending 6/7 bucks every month.And the picture is better than the sat.feed,way better.See, I just needed to understand the subject. I hooked up a dig coax for a friend who has the fiber optics box,and a dig reciever,so this isn't hearsay.
