I mean I watched "Blades of Glory' last night and it was in SD, is it because since my current DVR is not HD, then it converted it to SD or did Dish Network not deliver it in HD?

It's all the same answer. You are tuning to one of the SD channels. The non-HD receivers can't tune to the different HD channels.
An HD receiver can tune to the HD channels and downconvert for older TVs & recording devices. But your older receiver is only tuning to the SD channels.
