    Very few TV's allow the passthrough of Dolby surround sound as the hardware they use does not include a licence from Dolby to do so. Therefore, you will need to connect the Freesat box directly to the Logitch by optical cable. Connecting the TV to the Logitech will give stereo or maybe some sort of hyped "virtual Dolby surround" (which means NOT DOLBY)

    You are best to get two seperate devices, a media player or PC to which you plug your USB drive and a surround system like the Logitech you suggested. I've seen many people conned into buying home cinema systems, only to realise they are DVD players with speakers and have no surround input. There are plenty of suggestions on media players in the HTPC forum
