LOOKS Like we are getting ITV HD regional, this must be expensive for ITV to do this

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

My V+ Decoder is wired to a Yamaha 7:1 Amplifier via a optical lead, yet the sound transmitted through is 2 channel stereo. So, to push the sound further I switch the amplifier to 7 Channel Stereo. So, I dont know why some of you are saying that some movies are being transmitted in 5:1 sound. Am I missing something here?

not really as other than the local news how many other local programes are there,

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

the expense comes from the broadcast equipment needed to transmit the HD format, id imagine

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Only some channels/shows/movies are in 5.1 have a look in the V+ forum as there are a few threads knocking about there that deal with this.

Make sure HDMI Audio over-ride is switched to ON in the Audio & Display menu on your V+.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2010)
 

Your amp should automatically detect the broadcast from virgin, the reason the sound is of poor quality is because most of it is broadcast in Dolby Pro Logic II, which as you say is 2 channel stereo but fed to the back speakers also, 5.1 though is Dolby Digital which gives a vastly improved sound to what you are watching, especially the latest sound effects in movies, My amp is connected through the V+ via an HDMI lead and 90% displays pro logic II which is ok but not brill but as soon as it switches to dolby digital there is an instant improvement in the quality of sound.

My Denon rocks with DD Pro logic II, I was really surprised how good it was when I replaced my 10 year old Panasonic which only did pro logic.

Thanks DF - Just changed it and now OK
Also I noticed before that the sound was much lower on HD than SD
Seems to have fixed that also!

Thanks again

I know that "ITV will launch ITV1 +1 on Virgin Channel 114 soon (Only in England and Wales.)" comes under the heading of "Unknown Dates" but can anyone explain why we have +1s for the other ITVs already but not ITV1? Maybe it's to do with regional variations of ITV1 complicating things.
