It will depend on your amp. If my amp is recieving a stereo signal, it will automatically apply a matrix of my choice and the amp displays 'PL11 Movie'. If it's recieving a 5.1 signal, it displays 'Dolby Digital'.

You can add 5.1 audio to an SD channel; Sky do it on movie channels and for a while, Telewest did it on movie channels. It's a limitation imposed by VM, not the SD part.
