I'd more than happy to go down the analogue out route with the mythbox doing the decoding for me, the only problem I have is that I only have 2 channel output from my soundcard or spdif. The sound card is built into the motherboad (I checked for additional headers on the board for audio, but there is only the SPDIF header that I have connected to already). Maybe the solution is to buy a decent sound-card with 5.1 analogue output Ben _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
