I purchased a Zenith DTT901 converter box, but it doesn't have any outputs for 5.1 surround sound. My current surround sound set (Onkyo) has a fiber or coax SPDIF input. Can you recommend a converter box that has this type of output?

Thanks,
Steve

There are no government coupon converters that do, it's one of the requirements to qualify for the coupon program.

There are HDTV tuners that have a digital audio output but they are considerably more money, especially since you can't use the coupons.
