Get the TV and a seperate surround sound amp - it will be better in the long run (trust me, ex-toshiba owner!)
BTW - Panasonic 32" WS and Yamaha 630 Amp

Ive got a Sony 32 inch Widescreen TV works a treat. though if youre willing to spend some money you can get one of those cinema screen tv's.

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)
Does the NTL box not provide this sound from movie channels?

No. The NTL box cannot provide DD5.1. It does not have the required digital outputs.

It can provide Dolby Prologic though, as this requires analogue stereo outputs.

Yeah, if you can afford it get a Sony flatscreen 32" because they rock, period.

I used to have one of those 32" Panasonic "Tau" TVs which was very nice also.

mixteus is an unknown quantity at this point
Make sure you buy a 100mhz set.

Much better picture.

or

Go the whole hog and buy widescreen LCD( not from Samsung)and you will be able to plug your new mini P.c directly into it.

P.s
do not tell the wife about your other proposed purchase.
