Sky Digital- NICAM?

I thought I`d ask you guys cause your on the same wavelength as me and I read this forum nearly every day...
Whats the sound that Sky broadcast - I`ve just had it installed and I think that BBC/Channel4/5 from Sky are basic stereo and not the Surround infused NICAM signal I get on Terrestrial? Am I right?

I know that some Sky Digital is Surround Sound but which?

Toshiba is cool!

Nope, it isn`t NICAM, but it`s direct connection stereo.

Any and all programmes that have Surround encoded on them.
