Helping a friend set up his home theater system. He has a Roku box (2.x) which only supports 5.1 surround via hdmi. The audio output on the Roku box only supports 2 chan stereo which I personally think this is jicky as heck. Any media streaming device in today's market should, at the very least, port an audio signal that a Dolby/DTS receiver can decode.
At any rate his HT head unit is pre-HDMI, limiting my input methods to digital and toslink. Not a prob for everything else as they all have toslink outputs. My question... not being a Roku afficianado (and actually not very enamored of it in general based on the performance of his box) is there a Roku alternative that has better home theater support? I told him about xbox/Playstation alternatives but he didn't seem too hip on it. Other than that, what's out there for video streaming?
