Dishnet - Dolby digital?

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?

if you record it onto a VCR tape now... it doesn't have the ability to
store that extra info... but if you use a DVR like the ones dish
network gives out for free with signups then i am pretty sure it will.

if you already have a dish then i don't know what to tell ya, but if
you dont yet then you can take advante of some of their current offers
to get the free DVR equiptment.

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