    Hi All,

    I just bought a new home cinema system and was wondering does anyone know if any upc channels operate with 5.1 surround sound?

    I don't know much about it but I only get 5.1 surround sound from my DVDs at the moment. Is this because no tv channels are in surround sound?

    Cheers :eek:

    Expect RTE Two & TG4 - They don't have Dolby sound. All UK HD channels do

    if your new home cinema unit has dolby pro logic 2 or dts neo 6 it will automatically convert the stereo track to 5.1

    It is not ideal and not as good as pure dolby digital 5.1 but it sounds pretty good and much better a stereo track.
