Does Foxtel broadcast 5.1 channel sound? If they're only broadcasting in stereo, you'll get simulated surround at best.

Ok I have gotten 5.1 on foxtel but in doing so lost it watching DVD's.
It is now wired as follows:
*Foxtel is wired to the TV with component cables and optical audio to the surround sound/dvd
*DVD is wired to the TV with optical only.
Any way I can run 5.1 on both, im sure im missing something.

Can you wire the optical from the DVD to the surround sound box? Usually with those things you send all the video outputs to the TV, and the audio outputs to the surround sound receiver.

The only irritating thing with that setup is you have to switch the sound input AND the TV channel, but it's not a huge deal.
