I run my regular non-digital cable signal through my dvd recorder which has a built in TV tuner. Now when I first got it over a year ago, everything was just dandy and I had no issues, HOWEVER, as of about 5 months ago I have absolutley NO sound in one channel.

Its the weirdest thing, every other channel creates audio, except for one, AMC, the american movie channel.

This is a pretty damn sweet channel, not many commercials, LOTS of john wayne movies, and some other great movies as well.
It works fine on my dad's tv upstairs, but not on mine lol.

I run my panasonic dvd recorder, through to my reciever using a standard high quality video cable, and an optical audio cable. This is so my dvd's have true 5.1 sound.

Any ideas?

Maybe its the reciever and the digital cable.. It is 'possible' that this could have been fine before I changed the cable, but to tell you the truth I don't remember.

If your not sure, it would really help if someone could tell me if AMC uses any kind of crazy audio format that I should know about?

confused...

is AMC like 3 or 4 in your area, and a constantly powered on game system interferes with it or something?

That's all I can think of...

Are all components HDCP enabled? Sounds like copy protection of some sort.You are running an analog signal to a digital tuner to an analog TV?
it's posible that the digital conversion of AMC requires a diferent convertor than what you have with your DVD burner. There's going to be alot of electronics sold as a result of the digital mandate requirements. more than likely, it's just a copy protection thing or a connection/cabling misconfiguration.
