Yes I agree about 5.1, but spiderplant was saying that there is no benefit to PCM in any case, as it's compressed.
I use an AV receiver and floorstanding main speakers and the quality is better using a 2.0 or a 3.0 set up if I select PCM from the tivo.
If I select Dolby Digital the sound loses some dynamic range and richness, so in my opinion PCM sounds better.
So in my opinion if you don't need 5.1 select PCM for better quality if you have a decent system.
