The Codec the BBC is using works very well, however on a Mac it's operation is extremely rigid. Using an external multichannel firewire sound card, despite what the Apple web site says about setting up the Speakers, this Codec sends Lf to Ch1, Rf to Ch2, C to Ch3, Lr to Ch4, Rr to Ch5.
Also, and it may be down to the age of my AV Amp, if the Mac's optical out is used the audio is down mixed to PCM stereo. nb DTS surround files play fine via this method.

None of the BBCchannels on our local transmitter will provide information for the EPG, which is needed for recording. The other channels do give information for hours, or even days, ahead. Is this a local transmitter fault ?
