Hi Simon,
FYI I have a Sony DSS SAT-A2 with a "Digital Out (Optical)". Let me quote
some lines on the manual:
"The digital audio output connector allows you to connect a digital audio
component that has a digital optical audio input connector, such as a
MiniDisc (MD) or digital audio tape (DAT) recorder. NOTE: The digital audio
component must have a digital input frequency of 48 kHz."
This DSS receiver is a second generation and I know that sony has released
already a fifth generation receiver with Dolby Digital but I am not sure if
it has optical outputs, my thoughts from what I've heard is that they don't
put them anymore.
I've been able to record from MusicChoice a bunch of MD's with my R50
portable recorder and they sound really good.
Hope it helps...
Regards,
AM

A lot of people I know have checked on this and they have all reported
that, regardless of service (MusicChoice on DirecTV, Muzak on DiSH or
Galaxie on that Canadian DBS), the receivers won't pass optical audio out
on the music only channels. However, all the other (poorer sounding)
channels all do allow audio output.
