Yes, and I would re-iterate that modding your STB would leave you with the bill for it.
The output mod would not give you Dolby Digital, DTS or anything other than stereo.

Quite right - as Proppin says, ntl don't broadcast in Dolby Digital so the modification is pointless.

So why did they even entertain the idea on that thread?

Re: Dolby Pace STB?

I saw the mod approx 6 months ago. It gives you nothing that the box doesnt already have, just a digital output, which is still only a stereo output.
Do you not think that we would try and promote/profit from a digital output if it was possible.
Sky only offer the DD output from Sky+, and they only have it on a few (mainly movie) channels.
