The Reign of Fire movie did indeed come thruogh in 5.1. At least thats what the 1050 displayed showed. Both my Preium channels show new movies in 5.1. The time spread is eractic. maybe two to three miniute but somtimes it will play twenty minutes without a dropout. I blamed the cable untill my DVD did it too. Last night we watched The Core with out a problem though on DVD. By the Way even though I have the rear channel on I have the 1050 set to phamtom mode. do you think thats doing it somehow? Thanks
