Any idea or similar experience?
I recently switched to Charter cable and I have one of their Molix DVR boxes. This box has both a optical (toslink) and coaxial digital output. The cable company says they are supposed to work. I am on the second box and neither box will output a digital signal. I am using the optical. I tried the coaxial once just to see if it would work and it did not. There is NO obvious solution, my system is definitely set properly and I have been on the phone with so many CSR's I'm having nightmares. Apparently all you are supposed to have to do is go into the Molix menu and select Dolby Digital and that's it. The only other options are RF or L/R stereo (analog).
Could I be the lucky one to beat the odds and get 2 bad boxes in a row?
Could Charter not have the software to make these outputs work and too dumb to know it? They claim they have other people using these outputs but I'm not convinced they know what they are and they think I'm the ignorant one. Duh, is your receiver on, and is it set to the correct input? BANG!!!
Could Motorola have sent Charter a bad batch of Molixs in which the digital outputs are either defective or not hooked up at all?
Moral of the story, keep your dishes if you have them.

I only get digital audio....
on my Scientific America HiDef box if I'm on a premium channel or if TBS is broadcasting in 5.1 that day. Most others are in "stereo" only.... but its still coming out my coaxial digital out.
