What is surround sound and will it be available on BBC HD?
Surround sound goes a step further than stereo to make a listener feel as if they are in the middle of the action by providing extra audio streams. Some BBC HD programmes, including The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency and Robin Hood, are available in digital surround sound if you have the right equipment, i.e. a multichannel surround sound or home cinema system. In future, many more high definition programmes will be available in digital surround sound.
