No sound from rear speakers when watching virgin through my samsung home theatre

Hi Guys,

My names Andrew i've recently purchased this product http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/samsung-ht-d5100-5-1ch-3d-blu-ray-home-cinema-system-10096229-pdt.html

Essentially im not getting any rear sound from my speakers whilst watching virgin tivo. i do however get it when i watch a DVD. Heres my set up

I have a 42" Samsung TV - 4 HDMI ports 1 optical out, Scart & componant
I have Virgin Tivo - 1 HDMI 1 Optical and USB
PS3 - Optical, multi AV out and HDMI
Samsung 3D bluray/receiver - 1 optical, 1 HDMI, Componant

I have an HDMI lead fed from my Tivo box to the TV and an HDMI lead from my samsung receiver to the TV. I use an optical lead between the tivo box and the receiver.

I feel like the issue is due to the fact there is only 1 hdmi input on the receiver but if that is the case i will box it back up and throw it back at the slippery sales man at PC world who sold me

The Samsung has limited conenction options, but the ones that are there should be sufficient for your immediate needs. Specifically, you should be getting surround through the optical connection. My guess is your have to go into the Tivo setup menu and turn on surround. Of course, it could be that the program you Tivo'd is not being broadcast in surround.
