Picturebox HD Movies with full Dolby Surround
Hi
I just thought I'd mention in case nobody noticed but this weeks Picturebox HD movies all appear to have full Dolby surround sound. I just watched Hot Fuzz and the picture and the sound were great. Just a pity the previous 3 weeks films haven't got it though but hopefully this will continue. |
Re: Picturebox HD Movies with full Dolby Surround
do you mean Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic Surround one being a lot better than the other?

Re: Picturebox HD Movies with full Dolby Surround
Dolby Pro Logic full surround, the first film I watched a movie on Picturebox in HD and have had the full home theatre experience. If they keep this up it will make it worth continuing to pay the £5 a month. Not bad movies coming up either.

Dolby pro logic is not proper surround sound its stereo signal thats artificially split to give centre and rear effects. Dolby Digital is 5/6/7/8 channel audio

Dolby Pro Logic give you exclusive left, centre, right and rear (with some units splitting off the lower freq's into a SW..) so a 4.0 or 4.1 system (or even 5.0 in it's DPLII format Just because it's analogue encoded it doesn't exclude itself from being Surround Sound ;) :p: |
Re: Picturebox HD Movies with full Dolby Surround
ok its matrix encoded into a stereo signal and has to be processed later my mistake its still no where near as good as DD

Hi
Just to confirm it looks like Dolby Digital 5.1 after reading the manual of my home cinema system.:) |
Re: Picturebox HD Movies with full Dolby Surround
I am getting Dolby Digital 5.1 on all movies via PictureBox HD or SD!
I think if you are not you might have a decoder issue |

Can anyone else confirm whether or not they get Dolby Digital 5.1 on all movies via PictureBox HD or SD using the optical cable connection. @ sean1983 I just wonder do you get Dolby 5.1 on any other channels other than HD? |
