As Brent said, this is because it is
AC3, and some receivers pass this through the digital audio outputs, but some don't. I see in the specs of your receiver that you DO have an optical digital output. I'm curious whether in fact the Viewsat thing actually passes the AC3. My Fortec Lifetime had a digital output, but initially didn't pass AC3, but after a firmware upgrade, it did.
When you scan in those channels, does it list a PID for the audio? I think that before the firmware upgrade, my Lifetime just put in zero for the audio PID, but after the upgrade, it recognized the AC3 PID, and listed it. So I think if you have an audio PID listed, there is a good chance that you're passing AC3 through the digital output.
