lo all

i'll be ordering a speaker/decoder set next week, and am just wondering which would be a better option...

im using the tv out from a hollywood+ card if that makes any difference :)

the problem is cash, I am limited to about £200, give or take.

so...the big question...what should i get and where from?

thanks in advance

Does your TV or soundcard have an optical or digital bitstream output? If not you ain't gonna be able to get 5.1 sound anyway. I think.

If it has got one of the outputs, then for 230 quid, you should be able to pick up the Videologic Digitheatre (http://www.videologic.com/Products/VL-60382/ProductIntro.asp?Product=VL-60382) which should do you a treat.

EDIT - Just noticed that http://www.gameplay.com sell it for £200.
