Yes, it is doing that for the 5.1 HD channels. The problem is with the analog channels that only have stereo sound to begin with. I don't think the SA3250HD can be set to output bitstream rather than PCM for analog stereo sources.<br>

</div>I am not at home, so I can't check at the moment, but the choice of<br>
AAC/AC3 for PCM input is probably under the recording profiles.<br>
<br>
It would be better to get the STB to pass-through Dolby Digital,<br>
though. Having it downmix the AC3 to PCM, and then having the HD-PVR<br>
turn it back into AC3 is likely to incur noticeable loss.<br>
<br>
There has to be a way to set the SA3250HD to output dolby digital. A<br>
little googling, and I see people talking about a "Digital Out" option<br>
somewhere in it's settings.<br>
