Does the HDR1000s support DD5.1 when using the Youtube app as I can't seem to get anything but stereo when using it?

Probably not. Can you post an example with 5.1 audio. I have multiple Youtube sources, based on experience with Amazon prime only my Panny TV, Youtube app delivers 5.1.

I did a search for HD 5.1 samples on Youtube and got loads of Dolby Digital promos and tests and all were recognised as HD but all came through as stereo on the HDR. I know my HDR is set up correctly as I can play multi channel sound from my Harddrive and also the odd BBC HD live or recorded showing e.g. Doctor Who. I did notice that the BBC Iplayer also does not seem to send multichannel sound down the stream or that the HDR app does not support it, using Doctor Who has an example (although not available now) again. When Doctor Who was live or recorded in HD it produced multichannel sound but if sourced from the Iplayer it didn't.
What are other people's findings?

Playing back a Dolby Digital 5.1 test clip from Youtube
HDR1000S - DD2.0
HDR FOX T2, LG Bluray Player and Panasonic Smart TV - PCM Stereo
Note the TV is definitely 5.1 capable as I get 5.1 from Amazon Prime.

Done a bit of looking around using Google, it seems no 5.1 from Youtube content claiming to be 5.1 is very common.

Thanks guys, I also have been researching it and it does seems that Youtube does not support 5.1 streaming.
