This is for TVs and amplifiers that do not support DD(+)." If the HDMI output is set to ‘Stereo’ then the output is transcoded to PCM stereo irrespective of the source. Some content and / or amplifiers generate pseudo 5.1 channel from 2 channel DD+ depending on the mode the amplifier is in. everything is set up and working apart from i cannot access the internet channels on my bt youview box a Humax DTRT1000. i have recently purchased an AX50 which is connect to my bt internet via a vigor 130. If the source is 2 channel then the output is 2 channel DD+. Firmware Version: 1.0.8 Build 20200426 rel.65338 (4555) HI Everyone, i wonder if anyone could help. If the source is 5.1 channel then the output is 5.1 channel DD+. This is for surround sound amps and TVs that support DD+. If the HDMI output is set to ‘Surround’ the output is transcoded to DD+ (Dolby Digital Plus, E-AC3). The transmitted format of stereo is AAC (on HD channels) and this cannot be transported over HDMI so it has to be decoded to PCM or transcoded to DD+. "The STB always does transcoding of some sort, even in the G4/G5 (DTR-T2xxx and DTR-T4xxx). On the BT Community forum this was posted giving the reason it does not workI just cannot get my head round this I tried what you suggested but it did not work for me.

I suggest you do the test I described above to see if a known 5.1 source does give you surround from the Pro box.Īnd maybe ask on that BT thread if your old box (give the model number) is one of those devices that mucks about to give you fake surround from a stereo signal. The Pro box isn’t playing 5.1 surround correctly. The older BT box did muck about with stereo to give you fake surround sound You then will have the option of signing up to a paid sub for D+ or not. At the end of the 12 months the service will stop.

You never played any stereo programmes (very unlikely). Sky did a 12 month free signup to Discovery+ when it launched. There are some things saying I need to set up an ICMP proxy for it and seen some things on multicast settings but no nail on the head moments as of yet. I've had a trawl through the internet for a bit but can't find anything which resolves my issue. The interesting bit is your observation that you had ‘no problem’ getting surround out of your old BT box. It worked fine with my old BT homehub 5 (which died) but just plain won't work with the pfsense box. The Pro doesn’t, but maybe you can set the DN1080 to do this. You can try this).Īnd the bit in italics describes that some devices do, or can, muck about with stereo to get a fake 5.1 effect. On the BT Community forum this was posted giving the reason it does not.

if you can find a programme in 5.1, on Netflix for instance, or maybe even a Freeview broadcast of a programme in 5.1, then you should get surround OK. I Have just upgraded my BT Tv package and they sent me a new PRO box When I. what you observed, and if this was a stereo programme then only getting stereo out is by design, and not a fault)Ī programme in 5.1 (surround) will be output in surround that’s the only encoding it uses, and no option of DTS etc.)Ī programme in stereo will be output in stereo

Took me about three reads, but I think I figured it.Ī Pro box in Surround Mode will output Dolby Digital Plus.
