How much TV output ( if any) is broadcast in 5.1 or whatever it it that DVD/home theatre systems can ouput - I think I've been mislead to think that you only got that 5.1 sound off of DVDs
sorry should have started a new thread I suppose.

It was a straight question, not trying to make any points

currently I can buy a dvd player with 5.1 decoder, and add a 5.1. speaker system and get 5.1 surround sound when playing a dvd.

My question is can I get such sound from TV broadcasts - thought they were Nicam.

do i need a TV with 51. decoder built in ?,
are (can) the broadcasters transmit 5.1 sound ?
