They Should provide dolby sound on HDMI on all HD Boxes instead of providing only HD PVR boxes

So Soon we can expect DD sound on ESPN HD also.

It seems D2H has gone mad.
The original broadcast of Star Cricket Hd and every Sports HD is 'AAC Stereo Sound'.
Earlier Tata Sky has unnecessarily made DD sound on ESS HD channels, that's nothing but a unconverted version of original stereo sound and the DD sound is much worse than original stereo broadcast. Why are people so obsessed about roaming sounds which are not consistent with regards to the content being shown.
Thank God Airtel is not doing this so far!

The point is, as a customer we should be aware of what's good and bad. Just because it's Dolby Digital doesn't mean, it will be good for channels. What matters is...original broadcast of the channel with original bitrate and original sound codec !!


Just to add more....if one is really interested in watching everything in 5.1 DD sound; the same can be done by utilizing the Dolby Prologic mode in Home Theater's settings. And that will be better than the fake DD sound telecast by DTH, because that will be already compressed and DRC enabled; and moreover who knows if they made the upconversion approriately !!

Absolutely.... It's the DTH provider who tries to make fool of the customers.
Currently, all Sports HD channels in India are Stereo Sound only.
Some of the Sports HD in US do have 5.1 DD sound, but not in India as of now.
We should never encourage DTH providers to force DD sound on channels until it's really available on channel.

yes brother this is what i told from the beginning their sound is worst ,but i don't want to collapse d2h users happiness.so i quietly watching the movement.your point is 100% right,we cannot get the quality of sound by converted this type of audio feeds.for D2H user don't want to purchase any AVR or Quality Home-theater it is nothing to do.just buy 5.1 speaker system that is enough.
mail them to stop this nonsense,friend real sound with decoders you can enjoy the original quality of sounds.

I dont think D2H is converting Star cricket HDaudio to fake DD sound.it is only Tata sky strtergy.I think Star cricket HD it self started giving 5.1 sound in their channel.and as of now none of the sports HD channels giving 5.1 sound,this statement also wrong.Sony Six HD is proving 5.1 sound and I have seen IPL in DD sound.which is so fine in even live feed.So in my view star cricket HD also started DD sound because of this.Anyways..star network is showing in their HD channels Dolby digital Plus logo in their DD sound feed channels.so we can check this.another option I think all other DTHs also will start proving DD sound in star cricket HD.so that means broadcaster only started DD sound.
