Jc and Aaron, only the newer boxes have digital out. Some have optical with possibly a few having coaxial jacks. Those with older boxes are stuck with using the analogue outputs which probably don't sound as good. Sean

Try running satellite dish through DAC for music
If you have a satellite dish I'm sure you know they have great music channels. Jazz, Classical etc. No commercials and great variety. We use one of the digital outputs and run it through a DAC which brings the performance close to cd playback. A neat way to get a wide range of music. We are in a fringe area so fm reception is almost impossible. Nice alternative anyway.
