I have a strange problem I am not sure if any AverTV users here are also experiencing...

I can watch HD5 on AverTV player. However I only get audio on the 2nd audio track. One of you said this track is stereo?

If I switch to Windows Media Center, I can't watch anything. It simply shows a plain blue screen with the words Digital Audio TV. However, I can hear the audio.

Is this normal?
Upgrade to W7 and u can watch HD 5 and in HD for movies & shows encoded in 1080i and also hear the 1st audio track encoded in Dolby Digtal Plus. WMC in Vista is screwed up, not updated to decode 1080i, thus can't display HD 5 while AverTV can't decode Dolby Digital Plus.
