Re: 5.1 Dolby on BBC HD channels

Has anyone else noticed this? How often are BBC programmes transmitted with Dolby 5.1?

Cheers.
Yes! Its been driving me mad for a while. I have a Samsung Home Cinema connected via optical cable and a Samsung TV connected via HDMI. I have been thinking of writing to Samsung so I'm glad (sort of !) that I'm not alone.

Also, I have a second Tivo but with Panasonic gear (but wired the same) and BBC1HD and BBCHD produce 5.1 audio fine.
