I have also noticed the difference when listening in Dolby surround, Dolby Pro logic works by directing certain ranges of sound to certain channels therefore because NTL just doesnt seem to broadcast the same level of detail or the same range (as in as low or as high) as you get with nicam, sky or freeview, the sounds are all rather flat and midrange and therefore the processor will direct them to the centre channel where flat midrange speech is produced.
