Many many different types of amps are involved. It does seem more common on Samsung boxes though. The current state of play is that VM and Samsung engineers have recently visited a customers home and witnessed the fault, and are due to report back. Progress is painfully, painfully slow. The thread was opened (not by me) nearly a year ago.
I should say that the dropouts are 'added' by the V+ box, in that, for instance id you record a programme, the dropouts will appear in different places each time you play it back. On demand HD is also affected.
Take a look at this (again, not created by me)...

And I appologise for veering off topic. The issue is discussed (at length) here...

The V+HD does do 5.1 through HDMI though.
I'll have a read of those threads, cheers
