Help with Sony RHT-G950 and Virgin HD BOX

Hi Guys, I read some threads about people having problem with the surround system and I have tried eveything I could and still getting 2.0.
I have hdmi connection from my Virgin box to the TV and an optical connection from the Virgin box to the stand. But I still have 2.0
Am I doing anything wrong yet?
Please any comment will be appreciate.
If someone has this TV Stand as well, I would appreciate your imputs on how good it is because I still can return it if this wont work properly
Cheers

This is in the wrong section but.... most material broadcast by Virgin Media only has Stereo 2.0 audio.
To get surround sound out of it your amp will need to process it via Pro Logic or Neo-6 etc

Thank you scjgreen. I do appreciate it.
But how do I use what you said?
Pro logic and Neo 6? What are they?

Not a Virgin TV customer myself, but this may help. There's a quote from a user who has achieved 5.1 through a Virgin box via a setting on the box itself.
