Sky Sports is Dolby "Surround" on SD which is basically pro-logic, as is said ITV HD doesn't broadcast in 5.1 alot of BBC does. As for concerts Sky Arts will broadcast surround sound if the original recording or source has been remastered with surround sound and this is the key, if the original recording only has stereo it will only be broadcast in stereo. P.S. Sky and BBC broadcast their 5.1 sound at 384kbps, a good quality optical cable is MORE than capable of reproducing this bitrate every bit as good as an HDMI connection can.
