Live hub FW, Dolby and connectivity Q's

But as I read optical is not high bandwidth and hence doesn’t support TrueHD or DTS HD-MA

WDTV Live Hub doesn’t support TrueHD (see wdc.custhelp link below) or DTS HD-MA either

I’ve got one or two movies that have DTS HD-MA … and they play fine via Opitcal (but you’ll only get the “Core” DTS track)

Not sure about TrueHD ,according to the cust help article it should “Pass through” via Optical (but it’s probably the same deal with the Core track)

also “old discussion” here as well

found a user review at a different site which contains some TrueHD and DTS MA findings

(scroll down to “Transporter 2 (Full BR copy)” and “Conclusions”)

also, if you decide to purchase a HDMI splitter make sure you check refund/returns policy …

because there’s no guarantee that it will Work or Won’t. If it does work, these a chance it it will do the

same as your Optical connection.
