Thanks for appreciation guys !! Well....it was a matter of chance that I could share the news here. I was busy last night setting up my newly bought Home Theatre system and while testing the sound on channels, I saw ZEE TV HD popping up.
So here is the test result I could observe so far:
- ZEE TV HD is NOT providing 5.1 surround sound. All it detects is PCM 2.0 (Stereo Sound).
- All Star HD channels and Movies Now HD are providing 5.1 surround sound. However few old upscaled movies on Star Gold HD have only stereo sound.
- Histroy TV HD and NGC HD are OCCASIONALLY providing 5.1 surround sound (Depends on content). Otherwise History TV HD, Discovery HD and NGC HD have PCM 2.0 most of the time.
- None of the sports HD channels have 5.1 sound.
- Colors HD is also not providing 5.1 sound. Need to check if it has 5.1 sound during any movie broadcast.
