Sounds as though you are on your way to a Home Cinema system, but only if you are prepared to invest in a separate Home Cinema system with a 5:1 Surround or 7:1 surround which is what I have.

Do as much research as you can into Home Cinema, magazines, websites etc and I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

Good luck!

I am assuming its connected via HDMI

If so , change the upscaling from AUTO to 1080 or vice versa to see if the tv or V+ box does the better job of upscaling

V+ doesn't have an auto option so there's no way of knowing which is better at upscaling. Only options are 720/1080 wide or 720/1080.
