U have to change a setting in ur STB to get multi channel audio, and may be connect via S/PDIF cable to get the best output.About ESPN HD, no, its not started yet. Even i am thinking of getting Star Cricket HD, but they said the channel is not "Activated" although u see it in the channel list.

Hey thanks for the reply, can you give a quick step by step to set up multi channel audio, all i see is in the TV setting menu there is an option for audio where it shows only Stereo and HOMECINEMA (which is again only 2 channel) any help ?? tia

 

[Jaymin]

No, that Home Cinema shud work fine......its working fine for me.And ensure that u use S/PDIF to connect to ur speakers & HDMI into ur TV........Quite a few times i have got foxed into illusions by the type of audio output i get!

tried this.. no luck.. still getting only 2 channel audio

sk

----------

Also ESPN HD/Start cricket HD is showing as scrambled, anyone else getting to see these channels.. ??

 

[Jaymin]

I said the channel is not launched officially yet. When they will launch, we can activate it.And for Audio - are u using S/PDIF Cable??

 

[gilpa123]

ESPN/Star cricket on finally... looking good. ya i am using an coaxial cable for s/pdif still only 2 channel.sk

 

[Jaymin]

So are u getting to see the Video? I mean what is being aired, or just that error message??And after using a coaxial, i think it shud work fine, else the box is faulty. U call their engineer then.
