Seriously, I don't think bandwidth would be a problem (I think DD5.1 on most DVDs is encoded at anywhere between 300KBps and 700KBps, DTS goes up to 1.5MBps but NTL would be unlikely to support DTS).

What, I think, might be a problem is the licencing fees Dolby would charge. IIRC, licences to use Dolby aren't cheap.
DVD can use up to 8000Kbps for video and 1500Kbps for Audio. Or any other ratio maxing out at 9500 (maybe 10000Kbps). You also need some overhead for subtitles etc.
