personally i don't see an issue with using ac3 for tv3, basically you get 5.1 sound when it's available otherwise it's just stereo over ac3.
Holy smoke that was fast.
I am a complete noobie to this pc based TV viewing, recording so really I don,t know.
I would probably try for Freeview Terrestrial but would be happy to install a dish for satellite if it meant future proofing.
Really I want guidance or tips on how to build a system that is future proof. Starting with Tuner card - aerial setup.
Yeh some people are fussy and set in their ways ( Me ) I like my stereo sound set to prologic and if I use your suggestion to 'Prefer Ac3' my amp picks up the dolby digital and only does Stereo (if its broadcast in Stereo) and to me this sounds is not as clear as my front speakers contain 12"" subs and muffle the speech a little.
Will post a graph soon , also I do have a strong signal.
