Brian (or anyone else),

I'd be interested to see how your experience with Dolby Digital output 
over optical into your HD-PVR is.  On my VIP211k and HD-PVR, I can set 
the receiver to output DD, but when I play it back it sounds like 
someone is talking through a fan.  I don't know if this is a Dish 
Network issue, an HD-PVR issue, a driver issue, or a MythTV issue.  I 
know it's not a cable issue because I've swapped out the cable several 
times, and I doubt it's a MythTV issue.  I have the latest firmware on 
the HD-PVR.  If I set up the receiver to output PCM over optical, all is 
fine.

Otherwise, the device works great!
