I do believe that on satellite they do indeed offer a 5.1 track on selected SD movies.

Thanks for the reply.

I am ex telewest and they definitely did broadcast some movies in 5.1. I think it started with the Premier channel and then started to go to the other film channels. It's probably two years ago, when I was on VIP, so it has changed since then.

That's really frustrating, especially for action movies. I wonder if it will be 5.1 on the HD version?

I searched google and there seems to be nothing about them going back to stereo, I'd have thought people would have been annoyed about it at the time.

You put your service provider in with Digiguide, so maybe they aren't aware of virgin's limitation?

Thanks again.
