Don't think so I am pretty sure it downmixes automatically if the source can't handle it. I will double check tonight but pretty sure I am getting dts out of the optical and know the hdmi is working at the same time as too channel.

As it is currently, anything I record via Sage, I can watch anywhere in my house - even on an MVP, although it may require transcoding. I realize that I wouldn't *have* to adopt a cablecard system, but I'd hate to have a situation where I (or others in the family) have to remember which shows were recorded via which tuner in order to know where to watch them. I think that teaching them "if you want to watch streaming Netflix, you must do it in the family room" is easier than remembering the some HistoryHD show can only be watched in the family room.

I am very interested in hearing of this as well. I need the spdif digital out and the downmixed out both at the same time.

Plucky is probably right, I'm just didn't expect it to work that way since you have to choose the audio output in the HD300 setup. But if it's automatically dumbing it down to stereo as needed all the better.

In any case, the desire here is not to argue whether the HD300 should have BR menu support or shouldn’t for a given price target. The comments where just to express that BR menu navigation is desired for more than just looking at useless extras. ...And for what it is worth, there were people opining about how the licensing costs to allow for the upgraded audio capabilities would force the price of an HD300 well above the price of the HD200, even as recently as a week or two ago... -Suntan |

I actually prefer not having menu support, since it takes forever for my BD player to launch a movie. But, having an option to play the menus would be nice in some circumstances.
Most TV episode BDs I've seen have a play all playlist that will play all the episodes in a row on that disk. That's the one to rip. So far BSG is the only one I found that didn't have the play all playlist and it was a pain to watch since I didn't know which episode came next. I just popped in the disk to my BD player and was off in 4 minutes after I finally got to the BD menus. |

I could be wrong about the Dune by I know Damian said that was one reason the cost was so high was because you have to pay big for blu ray menu support. Quote:

Yeah, BluRay menus are a tough call. Right now I don't think there are any sub $230 players that have BluRay menus, mostly due to the licensing costs. So the big question the SageTV folks would have to ask, is the increased cost worth it to a majority of the users. I would guess that a majority of users would think it was a nice feature, but would not want to pay the increased price. The only way I see to introduce full BluRay menus would be for SageTV to create two HD300 models (HD300 and HD300XL), with the HD300XL being the higher end/higher priced model including full BluRay menus as well as other enhancements. This would be strictly on the standalone side, I don't know how it would work in extender mode, would the BluRay license have to also flow through the SageTV Media Center software (so possible cost increase there)?

Sounds to me like the real solution to BD menus is for the "powers that be" to get off their high horses and quit charging exorbitant rates for the licenses.
But what do I know? It just seems strange that it is easy and cheap to play BD content but to see a menu will cost big. Kinda like going into a restaurant where all the food is 4 star quality and nearly free but they don't tell you what's available to eat or let you order unless you fork over a hefty fee. S |

It's not easy and cheap to play BD content either - it's easy and cheap to play standard H.264, MPEG-2, or VC-1 video. It's only easy because AnyDVD or DVDFab have already done the hard part.

The other problem with BD menus is the whole political issue of what business does a box that's not a fully-licensed BD player (with AACS and all) doing needing BD-J menu support. There's no catalog BDs on your HDD, so the only use for such a feature is in the grey market.

Has anyone asked sage about multi-channel lpcm output? I tried to submit a feature request but they haven't added the new extender to the product list.

I did not too long ago for the HD200 via email and the request was "passed along".
