1st question is I have a DTV hr10-250 connected to my 970 via hdmi>dvi, then the dvi>hdmi to my tv. (all outlaw cables)

When I watch a hdtv program that say it is broadcast in Dolby 5.1, I can not get the 970 to display 3/2.1 in any of the surround modes. Instead I will get Prologic with a 2.0 on the display. What is up with that? My assumption is I'm getting a dolby sound but in 2.0 right? How do I make it 5.1?

2nd question or observation, when switching sources like watching tv to watching dvd then going back I get a picture but the color is really washed out and bright. I switch back and forth from each source a couple of times and the right video color comes back. What this? just a little glitch or are the cables bad? Anybody else have this problem?

Just some thoughts.
thanks mike
