Mark,
I'm an Australian living over in the US, and we see the same things with AC3
sound as you do - a lot of the programs are AC3 encoded, but with only two
channels, setting off the ProLogic decoder. The AC3 standard allows for 1 to
5.1 channels (plus whatever DD-EX attempts to do with rear channel(s)) so
don't be too alarmed. I've only ever seen one genuine 5.1 program over here,
and that was a HDTV PBS recording of of some of Strauss's operatic works.
I'm planning on returning to Oz this year, what Australian HDTV card do you
recommend?
Stephen
