This is not true in my case. I have watched several movies via the HBOHD channel and they had a DD 5.1 signal. As far as regular programming on HBO, some movies that you would think would have a DD signal don't, but others do. I'm not really sure of why this is.
All the best

Maybe I was thinking of just regular digital cable, not HD. I know that was a factor when I got regular satellite vs. digital cable. No 5.1 sound on cable then.
There IS 5.1 audio being broadcasted via cable, regardless of what STB you have. The HDTV STB's have it, as well as the standard Digital Cable boxes. But most of the standard Digital boxes don't come equipped with the digital audio output. But you will see some that do. You would have to request one.
