Sound encoded incorrectly on LOST latest ep 'What Kate Does' ?

TV and 5.1 surround sound notice all the voices come out of the rear right speaker? It's not a problem with hardware as the previous two eps are fine. It's really annoying!I did not notice that and watched the show last night. I will try and check again after work today, but I certainly didn't notice anything odd about the sound last night...and I do have a 5.1 surround speaker setup.
Is it REALLY obvious, or will I have to strain to hear it? I'm assuming it's an obvious issue. (Not being a jerk...I want to know what I should be listening for)

Yup, same problem here
I sent an email to the iTunes Store about it, under the "doesn't look or sound good" heading, and just got a reply saying this is outside the area of expertise of the support person. I now have to find a number to call a technical advisor. Hopefully they will have heard of this, and I won't have to explain that I know how 5.1 works, etc, etc, etc.

Would you have noticed this without this thread? I didn't notice anything and knew about the thread.
It's not 'that annoying', but how noticeable is it to you?
I downloaded my episode yesterday around 7PM CST and noticed nothing out of the ordinary...but admittedly wasn't being extremely critical of the audio. Just want to know how hard I need to concentrate to notice this?
It was completely annoying to me, as the dialogue was coming out behind me. There was just sound effects and music coming out of the front speakers. When I switched the receiver to 2 channel, the dialogue came out of the right speaker, and everything else out the left.
The premiere episodes play perfectly in 5.1. There is a definite, serious issue with What Kate Does.
Ha ha ha. I like her okay.
I called the support line, which funneled me to the Apple TV section, and they want my serial number before they will let me explain the problem. I'm at work, and it isn't showing as registered on the web site, which is strange, but neither is my iMac G5. I thought I've always registered the devices. Oh well, I'll call later to pass on the problem.
Sounds like that agent misunderstood the issue and gave you incorrect information. Technical support will only be able to ensure that your Apple TV is working properly, and it sounds like it is. I would try contacting iTunes Store support again.
I think you're probably right. I might try the chat option this evening to see if I can get the issue across to someone.
