Digital out from radio channels?

[roboldham]

Hi folks

Just got my 7020-S 160Gb today and have been playing around with it on Astra 28 (my Sky dish) until the new dish arrives next week.

I am having probs getting an AV receiver lock on audio on the optical out - I want to be able to pipe radio and whatever else through my system.

I get the odd snippet of audio, about 0.5 sec every 2 secs or so - like the AV aint locking on the optical signal.

Have checked and unchecked the AC3 setting in the menu etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks

R

turns out that digital out IS being send when listening to a radio channel - it looks like my AV receiver is not partying for some reason as a dedicated stereo HiFi DAC I have locks to the signal fine!

Now all I need to do is to try and get DVD VOB files to pump out AC3....hmmm
