Deev8:hdinsider: According to [screenscribe.tv] TVNZ haven't done any 5.1 on shows/movies yet due to "technical difficulties". Only the rugby has been 5.1 and only on live games. Is anyone sure that there have been true 5.1 shows?
I'm absolutely certain that some broadcasts from TVNZ other than rugby have had 5.1 sound - on the basis of hearing good surround effects from my rear speakers. I've certainly heard 5.1 sound on "Body of Proof" and "The Mentalist" both broadcast last Monday, 12th September.
Me too and on a recording.
You can usually tell in a rugby broadcast if it's DD since the commentary will come from the centre speaker. If they are broadcasting DD 2.0 or AAC then the commentary will be a phantom centre speaker sound image.
