Help Help Help I finally attempted to hook up an optic cable from my Time Warner HD Box to my receiver and something ain't right (maybe me, haha!). I can't get 5.1 from my HD DVR yet as it needs to be updated to an 8300 DVR from an 8000 Scientific Model.

Anyway, I connected the optic cable from the back of the cable box to the optical cable box on TV, What I'm unsure about is, 1. if a TV show/movie on the onscreen Cable Guide is listed as surround sound, does that mean 2 channel surround sound or 5.1 surround sound. If its in 5.1 will the guide say 5.1 surround sound rather than just surround sound? 2. All the shows I watched were either listed as surround sound or nothing/stereo and when I played it through my optical cable, I heard digital sound. When I yanked the fiber optic cable out and thus was connected by RCA cables I heard Analogue Sound. For my ears the analogue sound, albeit the was not 5.1 sound, was far superior to the digital sound. Is this correct or did I screw up totally? Likewise if there is a real 5.1 broadcast and it's playing as 5.1 digitally on my receiver, will I then finally hear superior sound then my analogue stereo sound that is going through 5 speakers & a sub naturally? Let me know if need to clarify that. Its confusing to me and I'm writing this!
