Hi, I can see that there are AC3 audio on some channels, but when I select it I don't hear anything. What do I need to do to be able to listen to these with my Technomate 5400?

Thanks much!

I think that it depeds on the audio equipment that you have and also if you have digital audio output (coaxial or optical) on your sat receiver.

The TM has a coaxial SPDIF output. My TV has a digital audio input. No sound out of mine either.:confused

Ok, so it isn't like on my PC where I can just download and install a codec or something? Darn, that would be nice. :)
Thanks guys!

Which channels are you talking about?
Let me know if it is on Hot Bird 13E (preferably FTA) and I will check it on my system.
I have a Sony AV receiver with AC3 support, so this might be the reason why I can hear NRJ12 HQ in AC3.

Sorry for the disappearing act... too much work and not enough play time. :)

I wasn't looking for any particular channel... I had just seen the AC3 stream on several channels where English wasn't the primary language. I was hoping to find a few more English audio streams.

On the German channels, they are probably in German anyway.:)

Besides, as you have probably already discovered, there is often no English audio available.

Pretty much everything in Germany is in German... Perhaps the subtitle technology never made it here... :)
