Not getting 4 audio channels in HDTV shows?

When watching high definition/HD TV shows like Lost, Invasion, etc. I do not hear my rear speakers making audio. During commercials that are not in HD, I do hear the rear speakers.

 

Am I missing something? I am using DVBViewer Technisat Edition v4.3.2 that came with my Air2PC-ATSC-PCI card. I use AC3 v1.01a and 2/2 quadro speaker setup for my Klipsch ProMedia v2-400 speakers (4.1 setup). According to TitanTV, TV shows does Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. I believe my speakers can handle Dolby Digital to downmix to 4.1.

 

I am not an audio expert so maybe I am doing something wrong. DVDs work just fine.

 

Thank you in advance. :)

Interesting... Watching live without time shift and playing back from MPEG-2 recordings (not .ts), they sounded correct (with the rear speakers). I also noticed AC3 filter properties show green graphs (equalizer types) changing.

 

Time shifting didn't show these graphs in AC3 properties. Does time shifting not do audio correctly or something? I am quite puzzle with this! :)
