Poll: Which election night broadcast impressed you most? {Engadget HD}
Nov 5th 2008 9:58AM The graphics on the HD feed of CBS won me over. I thought the information they put in the vertical bars on the side of the screen gave an easily readable and constant summary of the state of the whole election.
DirecTV relies on Where Is HD? data for quantity comparisons {Engadget HD}
Apr 5th 2008 11:34AM If DirecTV is using Where is HD for this (which I'm not sure they are any more - the tag on the image is gone as of 9:30 Saturday mtning), they're not doing themselves any favor. I just found 14 NATIONAL (ESPNEWSHD, BravoHD, Cartoon Network HD, CMTHD, CSTVHD, Disney Channel HD, Fuel HD, MTV HD, NBA TV HD, NHL HD, Nick HD, Toon Disney HD, Tennis Channel HD, VH1 HD) channels that whereishd.com doesn't indicate that I get.
How to actually use Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD {Engadget HD}
Jan 22nd 2008 2:11PM Whoops, I made a slight mistake. The PS3 does not have analog multichannel out. You would have to have an HDMI capable receiver, but even HDMI 1.0 capable should be fine. I have a Denon AVR-3808ci, and it works fine.

Jan 22nd 2008 2:06PM rip, that is correct. The PS3 does not support DTS-HD MA through either onboard decoding or passing it bitstream. There is no way to currently get it, regardless of the receiver.
As for your current receiver, if it has HDMI in or an external multi-channel analog in, you can get Dolby TrueHD sound without a new receiver. The PS3 would decode the TrueHD soundtrack into 8 (7+1) channels, and pass those in a standard format (PCM over HDMI or just over analog cables) to your older receiver.

Jan 22nd 2008 2:00PM @Mike - That's not my experience. I have a PS3 running audio over HDMI to my Denon AVR-3808ci, and have the component out of the PS3 connected to the Denon as well. I don't have an HDMI or DVI based TV (Toshiba 65H82). The audio comes across fine and my 3808ci indicates it is receiving multi-channel in.
Of course, I just got it, and haven't tried a Blu-ray disc yet - only games. Is this a problem only with Blu-Ray movies?
