Quick question....
My dad had a standard sky box connected to a DVD player which has surround sound. Everything was working fine. He got surround sound when watching a DVD and when watching normal TV.
Recently he had a Humax+ box installed that replaced the Sky box. Now he only gets Surround Sound when he watches a DVD. He's been told by the guy that installed the new box that he needs a "Home Cinema Kit" in order to get surround sound when watching the TV. So, how did he manage to get surround sound when watching TV through a 10 year old Sky box yet this new Humax+ box needs extra kit? Any ideas? Is the installation engineer at it?

. Now I am confused
. If he has an analogue stereo connection from his hdr from either The TV scart, The Vcr scart or the two RCA phonos outputs then it should work exactly the same as the original connection from his sky box if he was using similar analogue options as they will all be delivering the same stereo signals. If he was using digital connections before and is also now same applies except that there is one more choice on a hdr for digital sound. Assuming it was previously using a stereo analogue connection and is now any difference has got to be down the settings on the AV amp (Unless it's bust of course
