Is it possible that the PCM stream I get from the tivo box that is from a compressed format is of better quality than the Dolby Digital stream that is also from the same compressed format?
Also, on channels that are not Dolby Digital (Like the BBC HD News Channel) Why does the selection of either PCM or DD from the tivo sound different at the AV receiver, if there is no DD option what is the DD selection at the tivo streaming that sounds different to the PCM option?
