Should have said, I get all other VM HD channels in DD2, 5.0 or 5.1. Nat Geo HD is probably the best with nearly all their progs in 5.1.

I'm not sure if Freesat ITV HD was 5 or just DD 2.0 but it was definitely DD as opposed to VM's PCM. Can't check right now as I've deleted everything from the PVR, but I'll be sure to pay attention the next big film I record.
