hi

i current have a xtrend et 8000, with triple turners 2 sat 1 cable. and it is fine and works great but for 1 issue,
i have just brought a new 7.1 surround sound system and connected to the xtrend box but found the sound dont seem to really play the surround sound effect. now i am thinking this box is old and maybe dont support playing the nessasary outputs needed for the system to work to it full potential. does this sound right to you guys ??

if the above answer is yes then can you recoomend a newer box that will support all the audio outputs / codex to get the surround sound system to work at its best. i need a box with atleast 1 cable and 1 sat and i must be honest i dont want to spend to much as we all know the amount of channels we can get is dropping and i also have a IPTV through my smart tv.

i hope this post makes sense and you are able to help.

thx
sut
