Speech and other main audio is predominantly coming through rear-left channel and supplementary sound effects are coming from the front speakers.
I have no problems that I am aware of with any other programme, live or recorded, and my system appears to be functioning normally. I did also notice that last week's Chuck sounded "odd" and wondered if it was a novelty episode with some sort of super-surround sound effect.
Given the huge disparity between our viewing technology, I hope this helps you point the finger, presumably at the way Chuck is being broadcast.
I look forward to hearing any further updates.

Hi Tim,
Since my post I got some response from the Virgin Media forums. It turns out that it might not be just me afterall. Two others on there reported the Chuck episode as being messed up (audio on the left channel only). This was on both optical and HMDI stereo.
But since you watched it on Sky+ HD, that settles it that it's Living/Chuck that caused that problem (not the V+ box or Virgin), and may not be relevant to the original problem I had, as I get it on FilmFlex and on demand content too.
I will need to keep a note of programmes and times/dates so I can do a decent comparison. As I only just started making the list, I only have Chuck so far, which isn't helpful.
If anyone is willing to help investigate this, please bookmark this thread or subscribe, and I will post any future programmes with date/time and a short description of the apparent fault. Please post your own, if any, too - though audio dropouts via optical are a seperate issue, so leave those out of here for now.
