Does ITV digital send dolby digital code?

I have an Awia DV-90 surround system, the display shows which speakers are active. When playing DVD`s all channels are active, hence receving Dolby Digital. From the TV or video the signal is Dolby Pro Logic and the rear speakers are combined giving mono only. The manual states you need a digital source for full 5.1 response. Therefore should I expect 5.1 from the digi-box as this is a digital source. Anyone out there with any comments?

The digital source also needs to be broadcasting 5.1, which ITV Dig don`t...

What about Sky Digital?
Is it possible or is no one taking proper advantage of the technology?

Sky Digital do provide DD5.1, but only via the "Sky Plus" service.
