How do I get dolby 5.1 from sky hd using the Onkyo 905 receiver

[admin_exported]

Hi, just got my Onkyo 905 receiver and have connected to Sky Hd via optical cable. Whilst watching ITV (Rugby) I don't seem to be able to get Dolby 5.1. -I have changed the output on the Sky box to 'Dolby D'. -I know the signal is getting through via the optical cable (when I pull it out the sound goes) -I have scrolled through all the settings for various listening modes but can't find it Does anyone know what I am doing wrong- or is it the case that some programmes are not sent out in Dolby? Thanks for any help.

Not all programs are put out in 5.1 The rugby is showing as only 2 channels on my amp as well. Put it on one of the main movie channels or Sky One HD, what does it do then?

Yeah most stuff is only broadcast in stereo although more and more content is being broadcast in dolby digital(although it could still be only 2 channel)

Terristrial tv is only broadcast in nicam stereo no matter what platform you view it from or the content being viewed.

Thanks all for the answer-much appreciated. I went on to BBC HD and got the 5.1! I just assumed the rugby was going to be 5.1...!
