 Question Scientific Atlantic - Digital Audio?

I have a Scientific Atlantic 3200 cable box. I have a Series 2 80 hour Tivo and I am running the audio to a Sony Receiver. On the back of the cable box is a RCA jack labled digital audio? Can I be getting better audio by utilizing this to send the audio to the Tivo? How?

 Re: Scientific Atlantic - Digital Audio?

SA TiVos do not support Digital Audio. If you bypass the TiVo and hook the digital output up to your receiver then you will have de-synched audio/video.

Maybe I 'm missing something simple here, but I only have a single RCA jack on the cable box. I think I need a left and a right audio for the Receiver input, right?

if it's digital audio, that single RCA jack is a DIGITAL bit stream, meant to go to a digital coax input on an audio receiver.

Thanks! I am getting the digital audio now! Another question... If I use the S-video cable, does it transmit digital audio or do I need this connection as well?

No, s-video only carries video signal, you'll still need either the regular RCA or the digital connection to get audio.

I realize this is getting off the subject of Tivos, but I have one more question.

I've got the digital Cable box(Charter Communications, Fort worth TX is the provider) and I my receiver is auto-detecting a variety of digital audio signals on the HBOs and the like. Is there ever a time when the networks broadcast(and Charter passes on to me) digital audio? My network channels are all between 2 and 11 and thosechannels are avialble without the box.

I don't believe there are any local broadcast stations that are broadcasting digital audio, but I could be wrong.

Around here, with Cox Digital cable I've only seen a digital audio signal on HBO/SHO/TMC, I doubt that any other channel is broadcasting a digital signal, plus we have a hybrid system where all channels < 100 are analog anyway.
