Lucky duck...my digital cable box (something from Pioneer) has the
dual outputs too, but they work like this:
Channels 100-infinity: digital cable
analog output carries 2-channel analog audio
digital output carries 5.1 encoded digital sound, woohoo!
Channels 1-99: analog cable
analog output carries 2-channel analog audio
digital output carries 5.1 encoded digital SILENCE
The HT receiver always (correctly IMHO) picks the best input that has
a valid signal, so if I use the digital sound out from the cable box,
I get great sound on channels 100 and up, but no sound at all on
channels 1-99. So I have to use the analog outs instead and get OK
sound on all channels. Foo!
(Anyone recognize this dilemma and know of a workaround?)
