Quick question re audio set up
 
Currently I have TiVo V6 > HDMI>TV and TiVo V6>digital optical audio> soundbar.
My new TV has a digital audio input. Should I use that output instead?;
Will there be no loss of quality?
TIA

It depends if your TV passes through the 5.1 signal (and if you are using surround). Some TVs will not send the surround signal onto the optical port I think due to a licensing restriction.

That is why in my case I have my soundbar connected to a splitter and then to the V6 box/Xbox etc.

Thanks. I'll try it and see..... Or rather hear.

As david_w2k says, many TV's only pass through stereo.

But try it and see. Passing through the TV can help with A/V synchronisation, if that's a problem for you. It's also more convenient if you use more than one source device.

Yes I got a firestick so wanted the improved audio. I worked fine thankfully.
