Any film which is stereo, probably has a prologic surround soundtrack though, although the amp will need to be switched manually to Prologic mode as most Amps cannot automatically pick it up.

NTL should update the boxes though..
In what way should they update the boxes?
You mean replace them with boxes with coaxial or optical digital outs? For Sky you need to buy a £300 Sky + box in order to get Dolby Digital.
How many channels currently are available with dolby digital surround, not many. Just Sky movie channels I believe.
