Your amp should automatically detect the broadcast from virgin, the reason the sound is of poor quality is because most of it is broadcast in Dolby Pro Logic II, which as you say is 2 channel stereo but fed to the back speakers also, 5.1 though is Dolby Digital which gives a vastly improved sound to what you are watching, especially the latest sound effects in movies, My amp is connected through the V+ via an HDMI lead and 90% displays pro logic II which is ok but not brill but as soon as it switches to dolby digital there is an instant improvement in the quality of sound.
