Re: Theatre System / HDMI Set up gone wrong

Does anyone have any reccommendations on 5.1 Theatre Systems for the set up I want?

Basically I want to watch normal TV channels with Surround sound, and play a DVD or Blu-Ray via the Blue Ray player and have 5.1 surround sound when I watch it.
Have a look at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Dig.../dp/B0006HBCL8

- however you will only get 'true' surround sound from the TV on a channel which is compatible - at present on the V+ box only the BBC HD channel & some VOD programs are compatible.

The speakers linked above do a fair job of simulating a surround sound from a normal stereo TV sound feed, though.
