Hi,

Has anyone come across an inline AC3 decoder that can be used with an FTA.
I have seen something that looks like it might be what I'm looking for which
is made for Dish.
It has an in and an out and seems to go before the receiver.

Is there such a beast !!!

I can't figure out what you mean by "inline AC3 decoder".

...... especially that would go "before the receiver".

The AC3 decoder would have to work with a digital audio signal produced
by the receiver after it had processed the digital data stream.

There may be some USB audio devices that would have a S/PDIF digital
input but they would have to have a computer running on the other end of
them.

The cheapest way to decode the AC3 would be with an inexpensive "Home
Theatre" system. I have seen them at Walmart priced as low as $70 and
that includes 5 speakers and a sub-woofer and a 100 watt amplifier. Of
course, inside these devices is a computer to do the actual decoding.

The only disadvantage of this technique is that these inexpensive devices
don't have an audio output for the decoded audio for connecting a VCR or
other audio device. I suppose that you could connect the left-front and
right-front speaker outputs through an audio transformer. My motherboard
has built-in nVidia sound with a S/PDIF input so I can record to my
computer OK.

No. an AC3 decoder has to go AFTER the receiver.
