I have two HD TVs and have never seen a HD signal on either of them. I think it'll be many years, if ever, before digital cable carries any HD signals. The sound quality of my digital cable service is very good. I understand that dish services deliver CD quality signals. I would expect dish music is better quality. Nevertheless, even the degraded and downsampled signal we get on non premium stations sounds pretty darn good sometimes. NYPD Blue is one of the shows that has great sound, and as someone pointed out, some of the commercials deliver great sound.
Enjoy your dish service delivering good sound to your great speakers.
