Currently I watch Netflix using internet explorer on my W7 pc via Witopia VPN (Vodafone) and get ?3.1 sound (cant be bothered reconnecting the rears) via analogue connections to an old 5.1 pc speaker system from 2003 or connect a Apple laptop from 2010 via HDMI to Denon amp (stereo only according to the front of the amp)
I'm contemplating building a htpc and would like to output the audio via HDMI to my Denon x3000 which is compatible with the DD+ which Netflix uses I think.
What is the experience of the masses ? Does 5.1 or DD+ work in reality ? What hardware are people using ? (Download speeds shouldn't be a problem.)
