Just got HDTheatre, Couple questions

Howdy guys, Im excited, I just purchased 2 HDTheatres. I hope to replace my sagetv pc I have set-up currently and Im hoping the setup and config is easier on me.

I hope you guys don't mind I have a small question.

How is the HDMI output? Will I have any issues passing Dolby 5.1 thru it. For some reason I cant seem to get this done with a pc setup, I suspect it is the PC causing me issues currently.

**EDIT** Man I need to edit my sig, None of that is correct anymore, lol.

Yep. I use Dolby 5.1 on my two HD200. In one I use Optical out to my receiver, and the other I use the HDMI to my receiver (which then passes the HDMI on to my tv). Both work perfectly.

Hi,

Sounds like a sweet setup.

You should have no probs. Upgrade firmware to latest beta, Audio Out to Bitstream, and all should be good.

Cheers.

It works?

AFAIK, Dolby Digital and DTS pass just fine over HDMI, but TrueHD and DTS-HD are NOT supported, the extender will extract the core DD/DTS from either and pass those though.
