Hi guys. So I just got this box and I remember reading that if I use the HDMI out, then I will not be able to gte DD 5.1 sound with either coax/optical output. I would like to know if this issue has been corrected, because if not I will get another pair of component cables. Thanks for your help...

Also is it possible to somehow skip commercials on recorded stuff, and add an additional hard drive? Thanks again guys.
