hello..
I wonder If someone could point me in the right direction...

I watch TV through my PC with a TBS tuner card..
then through my Denon AVR amp ..then out through my 7.1 setup.. without problems...

As Only some of the tv HD channels transmit in 5. 1.. what I'd like... is to be able to see at a glance...
when they are working in 5.1 .. so I can switch my Denon output from multi stereo to 7.1 output..

something like a small digital vu meter..
that I can just leave on the taskbar or desktop... like image below


I've done a lot of googling... but can't find anything..
any help would be appreciated...
thanks, konnie
