MiniDSP Flex HTx - any TV out there which can output multichannel PCM of its own content

[Hko]

Just got the MiniDSP Flex HTx device. It does work with AppleTV but I was looking forward to get also multichannel audio for the TV originated content (multichannel antenna broadcasts and TV internal apps) but these are always output as two channel audio. The TV in use a Sony KD-55AG9.

Does anyone know of any TV on the market which can provide multichannel PCM for its own content?

I don't believe so. Dolby (and the copyright holders) wants to prevent digital copying so the decoded PCM isn't usually available. ....They'd LIKE to prevent ANY copying but they are able to build restrictions into their hardware/software licensing.

Ok, guess I will need to stick with my current TV then which is no problem in itself.

Are there any eARC extractors or converters which could take the av-signal output from my TV (e.g. Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master ja DTS:X) and convert it into LPCM 7.1 and make it available via an eARC output of the extractor/converter?
