Right. I got it replaced, and now its giving me DD sound - of course not the best possible due to the shortcoming of my setup, but still, the difference is just superb - loud music, becomes true music!

Ok, that will save you on the optical cable cost

So a friend is planning to buy the HD or HD/DVR box depending on availability. So do we get 5.1 Audio now. I went through the thread, but still unsure what is the status now.
