HD Movies Wheres my 5.1 DD

I just purchased Apple TV. I proceeded and downloaded Transporter 2 HD and assume that this is in dolby digital 5.1. Now I'm reading that 5.1 for Apple TV is really just stereo?? My receiver detects 5.1 but isn't picking up 5.1. The picture is spectacular but very very disappointed with the audio. How can I get these movies to output DD 5.1??

Macbookpro duocore, Mac OS X (10.5.3), Apple TV, New Macbook, Quad Desktop

Hi Paul

I got caught out by this not all HD movies have 5:1 it turns out there is a dolby digital logo in the more info bit or click on the buy now and on the confirmation window if it does not mention 5:1 it doesn't have it. I complained to Apple UK about this via e-mail and they refunded me for the HD Rental which was Matrix Reloaded.
