I really dont know if this is a 1050 problem or not. Ive got my digital cable box connected to the 1050 by the digital coax output. On new movies on HBO or Showtime they broacast it dolby 5.1 the first couple of times. My 1050 detects the signal and switches in the display to the correct mode but I have sound dropouts that vary in length. Its not the EX flag problem because Ive switched to 6.1 and it still happens. Ive contacted Time warner and Im on my third cable box so they think its in the receiver.they really dont know what it I think. If I use the stereo outputs the sound is all right but its only in pro-logic. Does anyone elses 1050 do this?? Do you think the cable company is sending out a bum signal?
