Everything is sent stereo (192k MPEG-1 Layer II audio even) over DVB. I
assume they're mixing any mono sources into stereo feeds.

Terestrially they seem to do the same, NICAM feeds are always stereo
(and never binaural or mono-but-NICAM).

So content wise, no idea. Isn't well advertised what is stereo and what
isn't at times it seems.

Haven't seen that either.=20

One does hope, if by some miracle someone works out AC3 broadcasts are
not a dirty word, they will start to mark mono/stereo/5.1 content in the
EIT at least.
