are you connecting it up in your car

lord love rocket

Are you getting freesat sound through the tv but no the suround sound? if thats right, then you need to connect the freesat box direct to the surround sound amp/dvd player using a digital optical lead. ( i think )

yes geting free sat sound through tv as for optical lead there is a port hole in the free sat box but no optical porthole in the dvd player......would it work if connected a extra scart from free sat box to tv? or would that funk the hd picture up? this is some complicated shiiiiiiite. any more advice chaps

I think the optical connector is needed for dolby digital 5.1 or digital 2.0 as on ITV HD

I have mine connected from Optical out on the freesat box to optical in on the Sony surround amp - the surround sound is only transmitted on BBC HD on some programmes... others are transmitted in normal 48khz stereo sound... so to summarise

BBC HD - some programmes in 5.1 Surround - others in Digital 2.0

ITV HD - Digital 2.0 - no surround sound

All other channels in 48khz stereo sound

hope this is of some help

cheers fella is there any other way to connect to my lg dvd player??? it is a bit of a **** cuz no optical port in the back of that all i have spare is...aux in (x2 ports) could i connect to that somehow and get some sounds out of spks?

Odds are that the DVD player SCART will be output only and even if not will be stereo only. It is also very unlikely that your TV can output decoded audio from the HDMI

The AUX inputs to the DVD will be analogue stereo, if the freeview box has analogue audio out then you could connect the L and R channels to one of those inputs.

Also check that one of these inputs is not actually electrical digital in, the freeview box almost certainly has an electrical digital output if it has an optical one

Hope that helps
