During the summer CBS announced that they were going to begin the switch to Dolby Digital 5.1.
I am still only getting Prologic from CBS Detroit and CBS Seattle, but lately CBS Boston has been broadcasting a number of their HDTV prime time programs in Dolby Digital. But it is not 5.1 - only 2.0. Is this a mistake on CBS Boston's part ... are they decoded the signal incorrectly?
Has anyone been getting Dolby Digital 5.1 from any of the other affiliates?
And speaking of Dolby Digital 5.1, recently PBS broadcast Nature: Kalahari in glorious HDTV. Part 1 had wonderful Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. However, last evening when I watched Part 2 it was only in Prologic. What gives?

Last ight in Buffalo the CBS sound was terrible, it kept breaking up which is a new symptom from them. We have has terrible reception of their signal before, but they don't seem to care at all.
Also during the Bills-Dallas HD game last week, the crowd noise was louder than the announcers.
Are any of these due to their sound formats?

Over the weekend I tuned in to something and saw in the lower left corner that it was in 5.1 and this was a CBS program. Cannot remember what it was as the 5.1 was not audible, at least not like ABC.
