Dishnet - Dolby digital?

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

I don't know a lot about how this satellite stuff works. I hear
that it's "digital" and has digital sound and picture?

But we just bought a Onkyo HT-S770 a couple of months ago and are
ready to unpack and hook it up. We bought it primarily for DVD's,
so we can get true Dolby Digital surround sound from them.

But what about the Dishnet? Can we get it from that too?

What if we record a show from say, HBO or Sci-Fi channel, through
Dishnet, onto our VCR tape? Will we get Dolby Digital surround
sound when we play them?

We already have the Dishnet, can't do that.
