(I have my V+ connected by digital sound cable to an old Yamaha amplifier with 5 speakers and sub woofer).

I wonder how many programmes on these forthcoming HD channels will be broadcast in true 5.1.
In order to be part of the Sky EPG all HD channels must carry Dolby Digital, but yes not everything has to be 5.1, theres a lot of 2.0

The best thing about MTVN HD is the fact that it currently has no adverts, (and is 5.1 or 2.0 where appropriate).
