I can think of one - what about bandwidth issues...would need a lot more bandwidth to transmitt DD5.1 than stereo.manny said:surely, since they can show films in 5.1 on sky movies, they should be able to show tv shows in 5.1 on sky one. or bbc 1, or any other channel for that matter. there's really no good reason why they shouldn't.
I don't want to turn this into a "Dolby vs DTS" argument..I merely posted the link because I wanted to show whar shows are actually MADE in Dolby 5.1 and what we are missing out on...for imformation purposes, The Disney Channel broadcats in Dolby Digital as well...but normally it's stereo - with only one film a week in 5.1thirst said:I think it's great and it's a pity that the UK doesn't show programmes in Dolby Digital 5.1. However family guy why read it and weep? For those fans have DTS it doesn't mean anything other than more people have adopted Dolby Digital and that's why the new high definition TV and next generation DVDs have it as standard, not because it's any better or necessarily even an equal of DTS. Also no doubt being more compressed has helped Dolby to become the standard.
