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 ?

The only TV broadcasts with DD 5.1 are the movie channels on Sky if you have a Sky+ box.
You will get Dolby ProLogic Surround from any other TV broadcasts which is 4 channels of sound decoded from the normal stereo (Front left & right, center, and a rear channel)
