Was watching "Brothers" on HBO the other night and noticed that at the beginning of the show a "broadcast in DD where avaiable" or something like that appeared. Since I only have a prologic decoder, I can't actually check it, but, should I expect to receive this signal? How is it transfered, ie via RF resulting in the need for a RF input on a DD decoder? Could I also record this signal to VCR and play it back?
Although I'm relatively clueless, I'd guess that my cable company (Ocean cablevision in NJ) will be even less informed. Years ago, I asked them about stereo TV broadcasts, and got a huh? Turns out that they did pass on the stereo feed of -some- programs that were broadcast in stereo, but they could never verify this to me. I only figured it out, since at the time I had a separate stereo decoder box that would light up when it saw a stereo signal.
Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
