I sent a letter to ITV reference Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and here's the reply.


Thank you for your email regarding HIGH DEFINITION.

Unfortunately ITV HD viewers do not have access to Dolby Digital 5.1 audio at the moment. However, ITV hope to be able to offer it ‘later this year’.

May I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to contact us here at ITV.

So its "Coming Soon" so I had to post it here :D

Coming Soon - here is what I know, some will be revealed within the First Quarter results/future plan.

Virgin Media TV - no plans for the sale of VM TV or its 50% ownership of UKTV, in fact VM are looking to grow with HD conversion of some of these channels.

Living HD/Sky1 HD - DONE DEAL - a pure swap deal fully expecting some kind of press release in the coming weeks.

Sky HD Pack - VM&Sky have already started to broker a deal for these channels - note these are for Sky's 100% HD channels - Not Joint Ownership HD channels i.e. MGM, Bio etc etc and ?s around the Five HD deal.

Don’t read too much into if the Tories win - The fact that Ofcom has issued the report means neither Labour or the Tories can overturn this ruling, the ruling can only be overturned if Sky take this through the European courts and win.

If the Tories do win and strip all power from Ofcom then that does not mean they can overturn all previous Ofcom rulings made.

The Sky HD pack is expected before the summer

I'm not going to get involved in replying to each post quoting the above - the fact I have a very close and trusted friend within VM.

I will post more if and when I get any other information.
