DD5.1 on Top TV?

[KromozIII]

Just a quick one ...

Does anyone use the optical output on a TopTV STB, and if so are any channels in 5.1, AAC, DD or otherwise?

Your answer will save me climbing behind my rack and buying a cable!
Thanks.

I have used it but couldn't get any other source than stereo.

IOW, you will get normal stereo.

Yup I can confirm that - no 5.1 or even DD sound via optical - just PCM Stereo. I asked about this several times (for future plans) on their FB page but they never reply to that question.

Seems it is easier to "miss" the more difficult questions...

Many thanks for the info. I'll stick with the Dual RCA cables then.
