This is why I kept my circlesurround decoder even though I have ES and EX built into my receiver. My circle surround processor allows me to create a EX channel with any digital or analog source.

The other channel is already there in the master. When the printmaster is made then that previously discrete channel is matrixed in.

If lowly Lionsgate can do it with "The Descent" and "Crank" then so can Disney.

Reason I'm unhappy is that thru PCM/HDMI I can't process the signal and get that EX channel back. If I play it with PCM I'm stuck with 5.1, if I play it in Dolby I get 7.1 EX...the original mix.

It's like OAR. Sure you can watch a Super35 film in 16x9 and not miss anything , but it's still not originally the way it was meant to be seen.
