The 5.1 from DVD seems to be of a better quality than sky+ is this normal?

The Dolby surround is not as good as my previous digibox.

A DVD version of a movie has probably gone through more mastering
processors than the print used for digital broadcasting, it wouldn't
be too surprising that the DVD soundtrack was better.

There is no reason why the standard Dolby Surround/Prologic audio would
be worse on the SKY+ than any other digibox, you could argue that
if you take the digital feed via the optical output you should get better
performance especially if the amp has PrologicII.
