The digital audio is sent as MPEG Audio Layer 2 (MP2) rather than NICAM as was stated.

Until a PVR arrives you could convert the analogue stereo outputs from the STB to digital optical or coaxial with an analogue to digital SP/DIF converter.
Maplin stock one, order code QQ82D at ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£24.99. It can also convert a Composite Video signal to S-Video.
