Hi Peter,


I played with variations of those capabilities today.  If I enable Dolby 
Digital, I get the weird distortion issue.  Doesn't seem to matter what 
the other options are in terms of generating the noise.  Both receivers 
support Dolby Digital, so I am not sure what the issue might be.


I also noticed that even though my receivers support EAC3, TrueHD, and 
DTS HD, those are not selectable in the MythTV menu. The menu items are 
there, but if I scroll up/down, it just cycles between Dolby Digital and 
DTS.
