Does Global on Ignite TV get DD5.1?

[AV_Fan]

With digital cable, Global (Ch 517) only offers stereo soundtracks when the same show under a US station (eg CBS Ch 523) has DD5.1.

Is this still the case with Ignite TV?

Any insights would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure this has been resolved. I'm sorry I can't check it for you at this time.  Here's a detailed thread on the topic of Ignite and surround sound.

Good to hear. Not thrilled that CBS and some other US stations are now under a Prime Time Theme Pack for extra charge, when it's standard under the digital TV's Premier offering.

Global's audio on IgniteTV (CH.3) is DD5.1.
