It is certainly capable of carrying a 5.1 signal where apporpriate (not all content is broadcast in surround sound). Not all Freesst kit is capable of decoding the signal, however, as we've covered off in the past.

RE: Freesat, Sky and Virgin

thanks Clare, on my Panasonic VT30, i get Dolby 5.1 from BBC HD (when they show repeats of the F1) but only 2.0 when they show the race live on BBC1 HD...
