I recently went to the expense and trouble to upgrade pretty much everything in my entertainment system. My new Axioms are slated for arrival tommorrow thus leaving the purchase of an HDTV tuner for my new Sony HDTV.

I'm concerned because the Direct TV signal on several channels "clips". Basically the picture is periodically reduced to a digital salad and the audio becomes distorted such that it emits a high piercing clip. Direct TV isn't entirely helpful and insists that I should pay a technition to review the wiring etc. I've been waiting to address this issue as I am close to purchasing the HD dish and tuner.

Now that I will have new speakers, I'm somewhat concerned. How will this (clipping) affect my new axioms?
