Google TV Streamer update seemingly kills Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD formats for good

Interestingly, the official support document lists the current production firmware version for the Google TV Streamer as UTT3.240625.001, but it'll likely be updated soon. With the latest Google TV Streamer update, the Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio codecs have been axed entirely.
