Purchased this receiver to view HDTV on my Loewe Calida. Great picture but it will not deliver Dolby Digital or even Pro Logic surround sound except from DirectTV HD channels. I know that network broadcasts are in Dolby surround but I only receive two channel stereo. I have tried Digital Audio On and Off in the settings menu to no avail. If it's an HD channel, the sound is full AC3. Does the E86 not decode Pro Logic? My other non-HDTV Hughes receivers deliver great surround sound.

Thanks!
