I think you will find that it is Dolby Pro logic II which is what my amp says and not Dolby digital which is a 6 way signal, Dolby pro logic II is a stereo signal pushed through to 5 signals, IE a stereo signal converted to a 5:1 surround system, where as Dolby Digital is a natural 6:1 Surround signal with no conversions. Everything on the V+ is Dolby Pro Logic II with the exception of HD supposedly, but as stated earlier I am definitely only seeing Nat Geo so far broadcasting with continuous Dolby Digital which is good, but they may not have all programs that way, also BBC hd is mostly Dolby digital but it also changes back to pro logic II. Theoretically these HD channels should be sounding the same as a Blu-Ray and they are nowhere near the same sound quality.
