RE: On Dogy boxes

["Kevin Hawkins" <lists@xxxxxxx>]

    There is one big plus for the Nokia models (at least the older ones) and that is that they include a digital audio output. (Coax)

 

    Whilst ITVD only transmit stereo this way ( & hence Dolby Surround ) the quality through my AV setup is much better using this than the analogue stereo, possibly due to the cable distances involved (yaKAT5candidate). I believe that there is not enough bandwidth to ever go above stereo as well as the commercial issues.

 

    .. and one big minus ..The menu structure is very slow though and channel changing is painful. In fact this is one of the main SWMBO 'issues' with the HA setup - that what used to be instantaneous is now always delayed - I have to agree. X10 - IR - dual boxes, separate audio/AV all adds to the delay but the chief culprit is channel changing.

 

    BTW - anyone know what sort of distance you can run coax digital audio over before you start to hit problems - (I know one guy that has nearly 50m ! ) and how do the problems manifest themselves ? jitter ? glitches ??
