Not sure if this will help- I've just done a surround sound set up at home, but I have separate DVD player and surround amp. The STB cable box is connected to my TV controller box via a scart (my LCD TV has a separate control box). I then take the sound from the TV controller box out to the surround amp. The DVD player is connected to the surround amp via a digital cable. Cable TV will then play out with dolby Pro logic2 (not dolby digital 5.1) and the DVD plays with full dolby 5.1. AFAIK you can't get dolby 5.1 from NTL cable- it's not broadcast (yet at least)
