here is my original question..
if a DVD has 6 audio tracks, how many does cable TV usually have
what prompted me to try to find the answer myself is that I got a different answer than I did a couple months ago. I am sorry I offend you, I surely did not mean to. I will read that book and I hope the answers are the same...

That depends on your cable provider, your cable box, the channel, and the program.
SyFy delivers "Defiance" in 5.1 DD but COSI shows "The Dick Van Dyke Show in glorious 4:3 black and white and stunning 1.0 sound.

  you did a good job of defining usually. Apparently there is no "usually" Thank you. Wasn't that easy? That was all I wanted to know...

    You seemed to be focusing on what cable is capable as opposed to what it does on a daily basis.
    
    Maybe if you didn't go ninja nerd all over Joe Murphy when he tried to help you I wouldn't have gotten involved in the first place, and maybe you might have gotten an answer sooner had your question been clearer initially.

      but my question was identical both times and as simple as I could make it. Joe's answer stated that DVD's have 7 audio channels. I read that they can have 7 channels, but that is rare and I cannot find one and 2 months ago I was told on this site that there were 6. See why I was confused? I am definitely not a "ninja nerd". I am a retired contractor.

        Sometimes the question you thought you asked isn't really the question you meant to ask.
        
        Blu-Rays are technically DVDs, too.
        Here's a little something to chew on. (Open in New Window)

        I guess I don't even know what DVD stands for. I read the article, but didn't see anything about Blu Ray disc's. It will take awhile for me to think of a DVD and a Blu Ray disk as the same thing even though they look the same. This article states that a 7.1 Receiver has 8 channels. I read several articles that said it had 7 channels (the two side ones being the same mono signal). See why I am confused?

        Google is your friend.
        Just keep googling and keep reading different articles until your questions get answered. As a contractor you should able to do a little research to get answers to puzzles.
        I'm not ready, willing, or able to keep following you down your own personal rabbit hole. I already have a four year-old grand-daughter that keeps finding two new questions for every answer I give. Keep searching for your truth and choose the one that suits you.
