I think that if you record something that was sent in DD it'll play back the dolby signal.. as long as that was the selected audio format
Hmm, I don't know of any way to select an audio mode in my tivo for a given recording. I assumed it recorded whatever it received from the cable box, but it might just stora everything in compressed stereo. Will have to look into it, and see if I can determine if any audio is stored in Dolby.... Interesting!
Generally, since upgrading my components, I can't listen to audio via the tivo. That is, I used to record concerts et al via tivo but they sound lame now, compared to digital sources. Will have to see if I can improve that.
