dolby digital only outputting to mains (1 Viewer)

[Philip_G]

I just upgraded to a DD DTV IRD, and when it clicks over to dolby digital, my theater receiver clicks into DD mode, the light comes on, but it only outputs to the mains! no center, or surrounds!
anyone else noticed this? HAS to be something stupid...

Hi Philip,
Much of the Dolby Digital on HBO & Starz is in DD 2.0 rather than DD 5.1, perhaps this is what you are seeing? I've noticed that Starz seems to have more 5.1 movies than HBO, also.
