I am interested in switching from cable to a streaming service such as YouTube TV or Vue. However, except for some on-demand content, the streamed video from these services is not sent with 5.1 audio and I understand why.
My questions are:
1. Can a more modern A/V receiver upconvert the signal to 5.1 or at least something better than the 2.1 that is delivered or is this not something that is possible because to get 5.1 you have to receive 5.1 (my receiver is ~9 years old and has pro logic and NEO but I am not clear on whether these will do what I am asking)?
2. If conversion is possible, are there shortcomings that could be created by a conversion such as lag between video and audio?
It would be tough to have a 5.1 setup, as I do, and not enjoy the benefits.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
