I’ve had exactly this experience before in Austin , TX. The local CBS affiliate (if memory serves, it’s been a few years) was using a 5.1 carrier, but the Cowboys preseason games were actually in stereo. So my system thought it was getting a 5.1 signal from the local station, but the center channel, surrounds, and Sub were receiving no data at all, only the front right and front left channels were active.

It was pretty frustrating. Not only do I hate the Cowboys, but it made watching the games, hoping for them to lose, pretty intolerable.

I watch BBC HD and app shows Dolby 5.0 but system plays no sound from surrounds. If i change to say Amazon and play a movie the app changes to Dolby 5.1 and the surrounds kick in.
