Help with Streaming Dolby Digital 5.1

[kualakin]

I can't seem to get a straight answer on this, so any help would be appreciated.

Can 5.1 Dolby Digital audio be streamed on the Slingbox PRO-HD?

There doesn't appear to be that capability, however, with the S/PDIF input from my STB, you would think that it would be capable.

In the new browser based viewing, there is no option for digital audio, but, even in the old 2.0.4 viewing stand alone software, after choosing the digital audio option, I still didn't get 5.1 to stream.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure why you posted that question here, as the only thing we understand is on-screen remotes

Have you asked the question on answers.slingbox.com ?

Just got word from the guys at Sling and the answer is no, you can't do 5.1.
